Do you think 'poor' people deserve to be poor?

RodrigueZz

I realized that a lot of people I know who are not doing too well financially make dumb ass decisions all the time. They spend their money on unnecessary liabilities, waste their time on facebook/twitter, spend hours at bars/clubs/barbershops, and ultimately just waste their most valuable resource: time.

I see so many people wasting their time doing things that do not produce income that I am starting to think a lot of people deserve to be poor if they act like this. Kids my age in my courses are more focused on socializing than on putting money in their bank accounts. A lot of these kids support communist ideology too, and it's just like "dude, get a fucking job. Your communist mentality just seems like a way to have your lazy behavior rewarded by the government".

Am I off base here or is there some truth to this?

Depends on what/who you consider poor OP

You are absolutely right. The poor are poor because of themselves, not anyone else.

If you aree wreckless with your money and your time, you deserve the aftermath of those actions.

Depends.

There is those who I look at and do not feel for them; dumbasses who misspend their money and become poor.

Then there's those who can't help but be poor. These people I do not blame.

Fuck. I tell my oldest daughter that poverty is a choice.

Sometimes the poor deserve to be right were they are but there are hard working men and women that don't deserve that.

Some men and women are you content with living on government hand outs and ish and those people I don't feel sorry for.

I see guys with expensive luxury cars but don't have a place to lay their heads or have an old car with thousands worth of work in it yet live with their mama.

I see some women who have few seeds and get content with government housing, food stamps, and other shit.

I'm not knocking any of those programs because some folks really need that shit but there are a great deal of lazy niggaz that manipulate the system and want something for nothing.

I see a lot of able bodied niggaz not doing shit everyday while I'm headed to work.

Not for the most part. If they knew better, they'd do better. Don't underestimate the impact of generational ignorance and cultural legacy.

Because there is no such thing as poor people that actually work.

Contrary to popular believe, it's actually selfish to not want to be rich or financially well off.

Go figure

not all of em. but the able-bodied bums who walk around begging for change all day deserve that shit. its gotta take an extreme lack of self-respect to beg ppl for their hard-earned money instead of making sure you can always get your own so you wouldnt have to resort to that. then again a lot of em are alcoholics or some type of addict so they probly arent thinking straight to begin with.

I get It.

there are some instances. inheriting money, being born rich for example.
its an advantage but it depends on what u do with it, imo.
if u throw away more than u invest u dont deserve it.

Seen this homeless guy in a business suit, next to him he had a backpack and a box. In his hand, he had stacks of papers, his sign said "homeless, need a job, please take my résumé", dude had a line picking up his résumé.

Being poor in the US is a mainly a choice. There is those who cannot help but be poor, but you can make it.
