Some tale you spun regarding "my daughter". Sorry , she was raised to be a good person.
I really dislike people who cherry pick and take things out of context. If your going to quote me, quote everything.
I wasn't making up a story about your daughter. I was taking a guess that you have kids but I was not sure. But even if you had at least one child it could have been a son and not a daughter.
I was presenting a scenario. A simplistic scenario because generally in life, especially as time goes on in a person's life multiple layers to their life increases.
I was presenting a scenario because you said you can not understand.
Maybe it is easier to understand this way. I am personally pretty fiscally liberal. I'm more European than American in this way even though I have never lived in Europe. That said we might both agree that in the United States no one reared in this country has to be poor per se. It makes "no sense" in so far as you and I might acknowledge everyone in the US can enter the middle-class by their mid 20s or certainly by their early 30s. Save except for those minority of people that have some severe disability like autism. But for the rest of us it has always been achievable. In fact, just about every person raised in America has had the opportunity to be financially rich, per se, by even American standards. In other words nearly all of us have had the opportunity to join the ranks of the American upper-class.
So then why are there so many poor Americans? And yes, I'm speaking about those in what economist term "relative poverty" (as well as the homeless on the street in "absolute poverty").
The thing is neither the Republicans or the Democrats have presented
reality accurately. In fact, both parties have probably destroyed more American lives than all the bullets and guns on American streets. Because of Republicans and Democrats, indirectly, some kid that had all the potential in the world to one day discover multiple cures for multiple cancers has already died of a drug overdose.
The success of the Mexicans and East Indian Hindus that relocate to the USA might provide some insight or a hint at what
prevents generational poverty. But you would have to speak with those people as I have done and in their story you'll keep hearing a recurring theme absent in the Republican and Democratic song.
Wat is the theme of the Republican and Democratic song?
The individual.
For the Mexicans with their own businesses and for the middle-class from Indian that come to the United States (nearly always putting their children in college, and more importantly they mandate what their children can major in, and they *guide* them still as young adults) their theme is:
the family.
To explain a story is really the domain of the novelist. So, I'm not going to nor can I compose a novel in this post. So, I will leave it at that but to say there are
riches, wealth one can have emotionally and spiritually that can help them overcome all sorts obstacles in life. That can propel them to draw out and develop the best in themselves. Contrary to what Democrats might preach and think the psychological state of a person matters a lot in moving from out of poverty into higher socio-economic classes. Something as simple as being willing to put in hard work for
low pay.
In short people can be reared with moral flaws, character flaws, or they can weaken emotionally and spiritually over years because mostly all those in their lives are like the serpent in the tree, the Even with the apple, the Cain jealous, the people that want to drive you to hell. They can be your parents that are Democrats. And to fair, even to others parents,
people only know what they know. And a lot of people don't know how to get out of poverty. A lot of people do not know how to escape drug addiction even when they are anti-drugs and will not use drugs themselves. Until they do.
But to understand that you would have to understand that man can not live on bread alone.
