Not entirely

you can have poor, yet competent parents

Doubt

or rich, incompetent parents

So let’s put failing kids in higher learning. I’m sure they’ll magically get better.

especially the latter

Show me a single person who is good with money and poor

I'll wait

Are you...

saying that poverty is solely due to a failure to budget...?

There's so many other factors

Yup

Not entirely soley

I'm sorry my family didn't save like

120k

But it's the main one

for medical emergencies

Low IQ and poor impulse control.

My fucking bad that we couldn't afford sustained medical costs because of our shitty health care system

I'm sorry your parents are bad with money

Point to me a single person who's good with money

And poor.

I mean

also do factor in

relatively low wages

in a lot of professions...

but anyways, I digress

I wonder why? Is it possibly because of Democrats pampering to the lower class just enough to get them to vote Dem but then worsen their situation so they can artificially slightly inflate it so they'll vote Dem again?

GEEE WIZ

The fact that poverty exists due to heritable wealth, poor systems in the case of emergencies, and so on isn't really relevant to this conversation

...?

What...?

The democrats would...

If anything

Lower their standards of living

At least, the voting populous - not the politicians in many instances

But they'd like to enhance social programs, not just "pamper slightly to keep them poor"

I don't really get how universal healthcare, a major talking point, is "pampering"

It's an ethical standpoint

Which only pamper and have only a short term effect
