Why don’t some people accept that Poverty in America is a lifestyle choice?

[HatchetHarry]

Is it pure ignorance? Denial? Poverty in America is really inexcusable. I laugh when people talk about how people are “keeping them down”. Newsflash: CEO making bank doesn’t stop you from making bank.

The thing is these people simply lack work ethic and are bad with money. They blow all their funds on trash and if they actually work they don’t want to put in the extra hours or acquire a side hustle. Once I finish my Masters I am planning on working 5 jobs. My only problem is there isn’t enough hours in the week.

Minimum wage: $7.25

Annual Minimum Wage: $7.25 * 2080 = $15,080

2017 Federal Poverty Level for a single individual: $12,060

"Lifestyle choice"

People choose to work minimum wage jobs. These are jobs meant for high schoolers. Try harder

Opinion. Shit opinion at that.

Opinion. Not based in fact.

Try harder

Why do you hate the working class?

If you are an adult that works minimum wage, you clearly made MANY and REPETITIVE poor life choices....

Or you are literally handicapped or disabled, which ok that's not your fault.

If your job can be done by a HS student w/ zero training, it's not the man holding you down.....

So, none of them?

Hahahah this should be in the Maybery!

It's much easier to blame others for your failures in life, rather than working hard at obtaining your goals...

Yes, there are exceptions to this maxim, but for the most part, it can be broken down to personal bad decisions, lack of ambition and victimhood

 

[all caps]

It is a lifestyle choice. You could argue homeless people are more free than the rest of us who have to slave our lives away working for the man. Meanwhile those people live day to day and do whatever they want, taking whatever they want with no regard for anyone but themselves.

ITT I learned businesses that pay mw are only open at night and on the weekends.

Also, being rich is a lifestyle choice, so I don't want to hear any more shit about unfair progressive taxes.

 

[Fugazy]

It is for some.

But I've been choosing to have 100 Billion dollars for some years now and apparently no one gives a fuck.

Strange.

I don't know what to make of people with such simple thinking sometimes.

It's like I feel bad for them but I don't have the energy to deal with stupid people with confidence.

If you were that much of a hustler you wouldn’t be posting on the dog, bra.

Don’t be posin.

This post deserves more than the one "like" I was able to give it.

As someone who started out poor and is now pushing the top end of upper middle class i support this message.
