They also tend to overlook something else. They tend to think people are poor because the wealthy exploit them. That the wealthy are wealthy because of crimes against the poor. The truth being the poor are mainly poor because of criminal or lazy activities more than the other way around. One guy told me, and perhaps I should listen now, that the best way of not being poor is look at what poor people do and then don't do it. They access blame, they demand entitlements, they wait for the government to provide or take care of them, they don't work or put efforts to be more productive, and mainly, they don't try. The government and the wealthy have been giving til it has literally hurt, and even now, it's not enough. Truth is, it never will til we learn the biggest lesson Jesus had about our own destinies: God help those that help themselves. The biggest problem with the country to day is the Government thinks it is God and the people expect them to "help" them. . . always.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
