I don't think you can describe a person's life experience just because they don't react emotionally in a single online discussion board. That's horribly unfair

  As opposed to painting people in poverty with a broad brush, saying that they either destroy value or don't generate life-sustaining value? Considering I grew up in abject poverty, I'm sorry but I'm not going to let remarks like that fly. That doesn't deserve a pass.

    Most of them don't. And I grew up in poverty too. My first real paid job paid three dollars an hour for farmwork -- in the 90s, and I thought I was living like a king.

    A) It is objectively true that there is a cohort of poor people who produce nothing of economic value and who consume a disproportionate share of government services through vandalism, sanitation problems, assistance, and etc. B) The inability to produce enough to sustain yourself is the basis for defining poverty.
