I was picking up on the context of poverty, social services, and morality. In some cases, people end up in poverty due to laziness and an unwillingness to work. They then choose to (in my mind) misappropriate social service funds to maintain that lifestyle.
While I generally agree we shouldn't look at all poverty from this lens, I'm simply pointing out that in some cases it's warranted.

Poverty doesn't mean you are lazy and unwilling to work and rich doesn't mean you are a genius leader who everyone should look to emulate but it is those two beliefs that underpin most of the political problems in America.

No, because I agree with: > Poverty doesn't mean you are lazy and unwilling to work and rich doesn't mean you are a genius I think we are just talking past each other. You didn't think my nuance was necessary, and that's OK.
