That's correct, just don't make taxpayers fund it.
I don't expect the poor to shop at Whole Foods instead of Popeyes, or to read books on philosophy instead of watching Netflix, or to take online college courses instead of playing video games and posting on Tik Tok, or to wear payless shoes instead of $300 Nikes, or to eat salads instead of chain smoking, but stop making taxpayers fund this lifestyle.
You missed a few stereotypes, but otherwise your list is pretty comprehensive.
Tell us you hate black people without saying you hate black people.
Poverty in this country isn't defined by a race, or even a political party. If you look really closely at threads right here on CD's POC forum, you'll see plenty of poor white conservatives complaining about poor minority liberals. The difference is, the poor conservative whites believe they are in the class of their gods, as if they are rubbing elbows with Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Mark Zuckerberg, when in fact they are living a humble working class life themselves.
Truly affluent people don't concern themselves about what poor inner city youth are wearing on their feet, whether the poors eat salads or Popeye's, whether they voted Biden or Trump. And the truly wealthy are way too busy counting their money than to be squabbling with other anonymous folks on City Data.
is that why poverty stats are so improved in the last quarter?
I'm not aware of any particular stats by any particular group, though stats can be flavored by a personal agenda.
however, it is a fact that there are flash mobs, robberies, loottings, inflation, horrid politicians, people who game the welfare system, people who are idiots whether by choice or it gets them some reward, cancel culture, government giving out handouts when people ought to be working; etc.
People are starving in places around the world and drinking brown water because thats all they have. so poverty is still strong around the world.
poverty is still in the poor neighborhoods, nothing has changed. chicago has an idiot mayor who is ignorant and impotent but this she is the T.
I know, a black person who was poor, what a crazy concept.
I encourage you to read a book called “Life at the Bottom: The Worldview That Makes the Underclass” by Theodore Dalrymple and you’ll find out how the poor think. https://www.amazon.com/dp/1566635055...ing=UTF8&psc=1
I know you are black, and I knew before I posted. I can read. Doesn't change my point.
Your point is absurd. How can I hate black people if I'm black? What part of post #221 mentioned anything about black people?
Please learn the difference between race and social class.
