LMAO. Public education is free. With an education and some ambition you can do whatever you want in this world, especially this country. The key is effort and ambition and this is what is lacking with those in poverty. It is so easy to sit back and blame everyone else for one's position and doing this requires no education, no ambition and no effort. The large majority of those that formed this country had to work their asses off to stay alive, never mind become successful. But in time, the roots of this country grew deep and strong due to a lot of hard work and effort.My grandmother came to this country from Ireland in the early 1900's on fucking boat with nothing. She got a job, worked her ass off so she could put her kids to college. The result was my mother becoming a nurse. My mother then married a teacher and they raised my sisters and I. We (my sisters and I) worked our asses off and earned our place in decent colleges all while going to public elementary and high schools. All the while my parents continued to also work their asses off so they could support the three of us in great schools that cost big money (WPI, Holy Cross, Boston College). We all graduated and are doing just fine financially.What's the point? Two generations after coming here in the same fucking position as all those in this fucking country complaining about "poverty" - our family is doing great and moving upwards. Why, because we have ambition and applied a great deal of effort and continue to work hard. I hope my daughters and my nieces and nephews will continue my family's progress up the "food chain" and I'm sure they will.So, the moral of the story is - poverty only exists for those too fucking lazy to do something about it. It's really not difficult to get out - you just have to work your ass off...and your parents have to work their asses off...and your children have to work their asses off...and their children have to...you get the point.

lol my family was on welfare untill I was 13... I got my first computer from the salvation army. why? cause my dad worked community service there. he didn't have the balls to get off welfare and get a decent job/a car that actually works and a decent place to live. I've been working since I was 16 (after I graduated high school and got my CCNA). I never did anymore schooling and so on. I can still live better then average right now... there is so many options open to people that are poor... to get some education or just to get the skills to make a decent living... but people are too lazy to wake up at 5AM everyday work and come home. how do sports stars? movie stars? singers? and all of them made millions? sure wasn't by sitting at home waiting for their welfare check to come in and they will all tell you that. You will only get out of life what you put in and thats the basic of it seriously.Steve
how is that possibly ignorant?? if a person doesnt show any desire to learn a skill or trade in life and then is poor, how is it not their fault?? granted, there are those with mental handicaps that prevent them from becoming higher up workers, but that percentage is merely a fraction of the impoverished population in the US... facts are facts.. those that are poor and bitch about life are usually those that dont try and inevitably fail.... whether they are black, white, green, blue, or yellow.... death said it best... you reap what you sow..
