Poverty isn’t a lack of character. It’s a lack of cash

  Poverty is also a lack of basic human rights. Poverty causes people to live in places where their safety isn't guaranteed, and go to school where their development isn't fostered.

    Poverty also induces poor people into a sad state of mind where irrational decisions become the status quo. It's a mental prison.

  "Divorce doesn't indicate a lack of commitment. It results from incompatibility." "Poor scholarship isn't a lack of effort. It is bad grades." "Incest is not a sexual perversion. It is an alternative sexuality." This (except for the last) is the way the Left thinks. The fact of the matter is that some poverty IS due to a lack of character. Bad grades are often the result of a lack of effort. Incest is an alternative sexuality -- that IS perverted. You can't just define away short comings. I am all for compassion and mitigating circumstances, but not for dishonesty.
