Arguments with your friends

[Philly Mike]

Maybe I should rephrase this. They think that poor people can't help being poor, therefore they need assistance whether it be monetary or college admission or what have you. I think that's bull, you reap what you sow.

I believe you can't help starting out poor. Sometime shit just happens and that doesn't help. I don't believe being born poor necessitates you being poor your entire life.

It doesn't but when all you know is poor and you have no one to show you that there is more to life and you can do it, you stay there. There are a lot out there who feel there is no way they can to it because they didn't have access to the programs offered, and things like that, that could have shown a way out.

I have seen firsthand both sides of this coin.
