Gruss, you are out of touch with reality in the US and most definitely other parts of the world.
People generally do not 'Choose' to be Poor. The society we live in is supposed to reach out to everyone in society and ensure a certain base standard of living which != Poverty. This is what the 'advanced' in civilisation should stand for. Looking down on the poor, and rationalising marginalising them because of some notion which cannot be substantiated that they choose to be poor, is not what modern society , in my view, is about. Just being poor for a while messes up your head, that constant struggle to get from day to day...that isn't normal. That alone constitutes a mental impediment that not everyone can recover from. "Only The Strong Survive" is not progress, it is caveman thinking.
