He said it's also a state of mind. Not just that it is but it accompanies actual poverty. Almost like the young black kids out there with the "hood mentality" there are ways to get out but they don't see it because they are blinded by their environment

I thought he was spot on. Individual responsibilty and how you were raised plays a HUGE role in if your to be poor or not poor.

It might be a state of mind, but that mindset is definitely put there by someone or something to keep you there for as long as possible.

Lmao tell that to the Africans clawing diamonds out of the ground, or the rice farmers in the hills in china, tell that to the lithium miners in Afghanistan
Guy guys guys, your poverty is just a state of mind, I know I'm sitting on a throne of privilege and luck, but the only thing that makes my Cadillac different than your Rick Shaw cart is your state of mind. What complete horse shit.

They're trying to make you think this a free-for-all type of deal where everyone fends for themselves, while his buddies over in education and healthcare are trying their best to reduce funding and cut programs that benefits most working class Americans. This is bullshit, we all collectively pay to have better living conditions and they just keep making those conditions worse for us. But hey, it's the individuals fault if he's poor right?
