So, if you have a disability and can't work, its just a state of mind? If you have a brain injury and can't work, its a state of mind? If you have chronic illness its a state of mind? There are so many complex reasons for poverty, so many things that a person can't just pull them self out of...

He's oversimplifying the issue to reinforce his ideology. I believe it's state of mind, knowledge, and opportunity. The reason why he's choosing to ignore the other 2 is that to acknowledge them as contributing factors exposes the rotten underbelly of this country. Trump's new budget is a prime example. He's purposing to cut education (knowledge), student grants/loans/loan forgiveness (opportunity), and other social programs (opportunity) by billions while boosting defense funding by billions.

I'm not a fan of Ben Carson, but there is nothing wrong with what he said. I'm living proof of that. What I do feel is that education and resources should be adequate for the poor to give them a better fighting chance
Yet, if one wants it bad enough and they have a sense true determination....anything is possible.

Voting republican is a good start too. Mindset? Sure, I can understand that point. But you must also deal with oppressors who's intention is to keep you dependent and lower on the totem poll than them...

Yeah just takes the right mindset to walk over your Common Man Two be corrupt and do anything to make a dollar and Crush as many people on your way to the top as you can... know if we could all just have this mindset we'd all be rich but wait there's a 1% that has all the wealth that is stopping us from all being comfortable we're slowly slipping into poverty will they just get richer because we do not have a good distribution of wealth
