American poverty is very real and not as simple as "making better choices".
Everyone has the same opportunities in this country. EVERYONE has access to a free public education to better themselves.

The problem is behavior and "culture" within certain demographics. Something you leftists refuse to address. You actually exasperate those problems.

As I said, the main reasons for poverty in this country I listed in a post above. However.... that requires a modicum of discipline and personal responsibility. It probably requires some societal values and some shared morals. Something you people on the left have been working extremely hard at completely removing from the American experience and absolving people of any personal responsibility.

Every argument you leftists put forth regarding poor people in America is complete bullshit. Many immigrants to this country outright prove your arguments to be bullshit.

Case in point.... the majority of Asian immigrants. They come here without a nickel in their pockets and within less than a generation most have achieved success. Do you know why that is? They don't view themselves as "victims". They don't have a sense of entitlement that someone else owes them something. They have simple, yet tried and true values and ethics for success.... hard work.... education.... personal responsibility... and family.

They are the keys to success in this country. They are the core values. Values of which almost ALL on the left and the socialists completely disregard and disavow.

Socialists push "victimization" because the more victim classes you can create, the faster the path to societal socialism.

Not a single fucking one of you care about your fellow man or the causes of poverty. It's nothing but a political tool.

Asians aren't even included in many leftist "affirmative action" type racial programs any more because the left can't use them as victims. That's because as a group they largely succeed.
