Where is the "new" wealth coming from?
> There are effective mechanisms to not being poor.
That seems like a generalization to me that doesn't factor in location, race, access to good education, medical conditions, existing debt, etc.
> So yes, we should focus on the lower end of the scale.

- sabarn01 8y agoWhere I grew up there was around 60% poverty, and most of the poverty was communicated via terrible life choices passed one generation to the next. Every one I know who left have done well and that includes people who join the military to those who went to collage. So much of poverty is about the culture you are born into which translates into bad decision and poor outcomes. If we could do anything destroying the cultures that create these conditions would get us more for our buck.
