Why do people act like the poor are just unlucky

this will go beyond OPs IQ but it never hurts to try and explain something to an idiot:

Instead of trying to climb, why doesn't he just take the money on the 1st step?

because the cartoon is above your IQ...

It's not any one thing.

starting position + opportunity + skills + effort = station in life

Different people are dealt different hands but there are lots of options.

Poor people and rich people tend to have different mindsets. If a poor person adopts a rich person mindset their outward environment quickly changes.

Hey Johnny Clips everyone knows money is Created from nothing and just sits in a big pile and then the 1% stole all of it

Because the image is wrong. There should be a huge fence between the rich and the poor.

There are a few like me who can create a business on their own and fight their way up the levels, some have done a lot better than me.

Today those options are disappearing fast. The poor aren't unlucky, the loss of their income is planned. Companies putting in machines instead of people or just moving overseas to the Third World isn't about luck, it's being planned.

Mass migration meaning low wage jobs now pay even less is again a planned strategy.

1970 no one cared, that instead of buying a jacket made in the US for $100 people could buy one made in China for $50. Even though it put tailors in the US out of work.

Now we fly on planes that are partly made in China, go to China for Space Exploration, face a growing threat of China and NK's military power. A very soon China will overtake the US in GDP. And already some of the biggest banks in the world are Chinese.

None of that was down to luck, it was planned and we stood by and allowed it.

No matter how well you're doing today, our customer base is shrinking because our customers are unable to afford to buy as much as they could.

there was no master plan to move production abroad...the word plan is wrong you should change it with the word greed...also you did not "allow it to happen" you embraced it with both hands...the only thing that is new is you blame others for it...aka "paul markham-ing"....

cpitalism is a fight for profit and the enemy are high paid humans...capitalism will win because nobody cares about the high paid humans...or the middle paid humans...or the low paid humans...they just care about their own wallet...

now to to amazon and order some cheap made in china shit and go ahead and blame some "master plan" or pretend human greed can be regulated...

I don't know why but I like this picture.
