I know a lot of people that are doing very well off... but they came from a very upper middle class/wealthy background with many, many, many advantages over the kids where I grew up... a poor neighborhood...
these people who have grown up in luxury talk about how the poor are just lazy... yet they don't know about poverty or even what manual labor and hard work are...
they had parents that supported their education... paid for all the little extras and extra classes... gave them a car... ENCOURAGED them to read and learn... had two parents in a loving household with stability...
and these people complain about the little things in their life, like if they don't have enough money for the "newest cell phone" for a few weeks... because they aren't getting that check from their parents for two weeks...
then they sit and talk about how the poor are lazy...
even when many poor people have two jobs... and they work part time?
they have no clue how hard it is to be poor...
