Ben Carson - Poverty is a state of mind !

[SoLongAtlas]

States of mind have very little to do with it. Making families better off in terms of socio-economics and education -> opportunity does. Very few people in this country will be startup masters or tech millionaires.

Sad state of the GOP today and why I no longer am one. Either you become rich, have the means, or else f off, I've got mine, to heck with the poor and the rest. $$$ It's a disgusting return to Gilded Age politics.

I've known poor people.  He's not wrong.


Obviously it's not true for every poor person, but those people usually aren't poor for long.

With vast automation and extremely selective job acceptance rates tied to Master's, etc. this will not be possible for long, only in spurts. The next few decades will be pretty rough in this arena.
