A huge number of the "have nots" are there because of poor life choices and that has very little to do with birth. And they lack the self discipline to live within their means.
It does have plenty to do with them having kids.
Once you have kids...it is very hard to roll the dice.
I don't agree with this completely. Yes, liberals love to complain about "income inequality", which does exist, but it has more to do with the fact that they would rather feel sorry for themselves than try to improve their lot in life. Success takes hard work, risk, and determination - traits that the OWS types are deficient of. If you are unable to make it in this country, then you have only yourself to blame.
Because they are convinced that the government can redistribute wealth to them. So they wait and they wait and while they wait they become angrier at the people who have wealth.
Instead of realizing that government only legislates wealth to the people in power and people who wait for government have simply become useful idiots helping them do it.
Bingo.
Do you think they will ever get it? Or are they forever doomed to being useful voting idiots?

Statistics would beg to differ with you. Being born poor makes it almost a statistical certainty that you won't be able to lift yourself out of poverty. This has been investigated and proven time and time again.
But don't get caught up in all those pesky maths and other liberal institutions.
So many damn shills on this forum it's impossible to even keep up with the strawmen arguments.
Quit your job at the Heritage Institute and take a class in logic instead.
