Work smarter not harder.

I'm not saying that poor people don't work hard, it's just that their efforts are largely wasted in that they make rich people richer and do nothing to elevate their social situation.

Basically I agree with you.

If anything it is a generational solution, as it's very unlikely that you'll be able to skip straight from abject poverty into affluence in one generation (not that I'm not trying to) What is missing is this cultural acknowledgement and acceptance of responsibility for the future.

If your life sucked because you were poor, wouldn't you want to make sure that your children's lives were better, if only slightly? Wouldn't you put all of your efforts into seeing to it that they didn't have to live the same inadequately funded lifestyle you did?

But people don't do that, they continue to scrape by and spend money on frivolous pursuits while neglecting their children. It's as if America has forgotten the meaning of sacrifice to a large extent. Maybe you should go without your cable TV and brand new SUV for the sake of saving for your children's future, maybe you shouldn't drink or smoke or eat so much fast food when you could be using those funds to save for your children's college careers, maybe instead of being indifferent and uninvolved you should teach yourself enough to be able to help your children when they struggle in school, and maybe you're just too much of a fuck up to properly raise children and you should wear a fucking condom.
