Even making minimum wage you can afford to have a place to live, transportation, and put yourself through school. A couple years ago I had a teacher who had immigrated from China. He supported his wife and kid on something like $75 per week while he got an education to become a teacher.
I just cant stand it when people bitch about how bad they have it when others who obviously started off much worse are able to turn things around in a relatively short period of time. I just dont have sympathy for those who wont help themselves.

Right on!
Right Back to who's fault is your lifes present condition?
By and large YOUR OWN!
Make better and wiser choices, and you STILL will get ahead in America, but the incentive is slowly being taken away by liberal socialistic policies, that "protect the poor"?
At what just cost?
To where the Honest and Hard working people give up more and more for the parisites?
Who deserves to live a better life?
The workers, thinkers, inventors?
Or the takers, winers and lamers?
What are we promoting by giving all this money away to people who produce nothing?
Non-Production!
I'm all for helping people who want help and want OUT of poverty, but sadly most people only say they do, give them a real job with real work and they won't last a week. They would rather live off from YOUR labor!
Like CVD said, "I just dont have sympathy for those who wont help themselves."
There's no excuse for being poor here in America, your either lazy, wasted, stupid and or just want to keep sitting in the wagon while every one else pulls it for you.
Why not? Americas so generous, that she'll give you a chance after chance on the taxpayers dime, as even our "poor" have it better than 80% of the world, so why even work?
When are people finally going to understand that just giving "the poor" the taxpayers money is NOT helping people move out of their situation!
It only enables them to STAY in it!
Ultimately it seems that only Pain truely motivates people, it was the main driving force in my "conversion" from living all wasted out to getting clean, happier and much more productive, if we take all the pain and the consquences out of any bad behavor away, and what is the motivation to change???
IMHO....
