Sometimes those people will reply to a post like this and say "Well, I did it, so it's possible! " But MOST of the people in that situation developed enough empathy and real word apperception to realize the rarity of their success, and agree that society should strive to offer more pathways up for everyone. One more thing: rarely, there are incredibly driven and talented and lucky poor people who break through every possible disadvantage of childhood poverty and become successful. I don't mean that as an attack, since many people on this site pride themselves on their lack of empathy and their ability to never have to interact with any lower-class people, other than complaining about homeless poop in the Tenderloin. So, we might not blame an individual wealthy person but it's fair to blame the people holding the cards in society.īy the way, when people repeat the arguments above, it reads to many people as incredibly uninformed and displaying an astonishing lack of empathy. But if you're a single parent of two kids with $1900/month gross income (well above minimum wage) and the median rent for a 2BR apartment in your city is $1200/month, good luck with that budget.
does NOT, despite your strawman point, ever tell poor people "that having a budget and sticking to it is a dumb idea." Every financial counseling service for poor people includes budgeting classes. In addition, just being poor has HUNDREDS of correlating factors for poor academic performance - it's very lazy to just say "poor people are bad parents who just let their kids watch TV, that's why they are bad at school."Ĭ). has tons of enriching and educational and recreational activities for wealthier students compared to poor students. has food deserts where poor people can't access fresh food and vegetables, and in many of these areas, junk food IS the cheapest option.ī).
