You're absolutely right. Poverty in of itself does not cause poor test scores. Immigrants from around the world come here, many with very little in wealth. Many children in such a household go on to do great things.

However, when Jr sees welfare momma is living quite comfortably doing absolutely nothing constructive, or of any value to society... Well, it begs the question... Why bother trying hard if the sissy nanny states got yo back??? Take that a step further... Why bother working towards a respectable career if you can have the same house and and a fridge full of food regardless???

Yes, they are indeed going to lock yall back in chains. Our test scores reflect this marvelously. It will be quite interesting to see what happens when the parasite class topples the productive class.

What's wrong with that belief set when much of America works for some level of government, works for some company who services the government, or works for a company that receives subsidies? It sounds like the pot calling the kettle black, to me.
