You've been down voted to oblivion, and you can see the other responses point out some of the errors of your points. But I'm actually shocked that given you do have access to things like free stanford courses (which of course are only free in the $ sense) you still hold opinions like the one above... It is victim blaming, and you should know better. Marxist drivel... really? Whether you agree with Marx or not, it isn't drivel, it's pretty well thought out. While I don't agree with Marx' ultimate conclusion, he has turned out to be right about a lot of things relating to capital. Please, please educate yourself more. Maybe volunteer somewhere that puts you in front of "the poor" so you can see how normal, and how hopeless their situation is. Because a larger truth in this, is that you're opinion and by extension you, yourself, are the reason poor people exist. Which is such sad situation.
