The rich get richer because they keep making the same life decisions they did to get rich. The poor stay poor because they keep making the same life decisions that keeps them poor. There are plenty of stories of poor folks who won the lottery and a few years later they are poor again. The poor I know spend their spare cash on lottery tickets, cigarettes, alcohol and/or gambling. They dropped out of school early. Overall they have a poor work ethic which prevents them from keeping a job or getting ahead. It does not take money to make money, there are plenty of enterprises that started on a shoestring.
And people aren't inheriting their money, they're working for, saving, and investing it. People become millionaires every day, more in America than any other country. How can poor people be stupid enough to believe democrats who tell them it's not their fault they're poor?
