I don't mind downvotes, but it seems that there are two groups, both arguing with me, both probably downvoting, who should really be arguing with each other. The views can be summarized as A) The author is describing the psychology of poverty, how people develop a self-fulfilling belief that it is impossible to escape poverty. Poor people are making objectively bad decisions because they are unable to do otherwise due to the psychological impact of poverty. By failing to understand this, I show that I am callous and unsympathetic. B) The author is describing the external difficulties of escaping poverty, in which various mechanisms make it extremely hard to escape poverty no matter what actions a person takes. By failing to acknowledge this reality, I am showing that I am callous and unsympathetic.
