to expand a bit on that, all that keeps on being done is a reinforcement of 'we are poor' 'we are in poverty' 'we are in the welfare trap' 'woe is us', and it just breeds doom, gloom, and the same old same old.

There is no collective mindset of creating wealth, creating a better neighbourhood, creating opportunities, or any of the positive steps that need to be taken (first in the mind, then in reality).

The 'war on poverty' will last forever as long as the focus is on all the negative shit - just like wealth is a mindset, so is poverty, woe is me, drudgery, repetitiveness, struggle, and so on.
