Then perhaps those folks need to get an education and learn a skill.
Nothing is stopping them.

Nor does anybody guarantee that they will be employable in their field
of education.

We don't have white collar jobs for every college grad.

Correct. Some choose to go into nursing or service work. Some choose
police work or to become a fireman.

College grads make their own choice on the field they want to pursue.



You find college grads flipping burgers, clerking at Target, sweeping
floors, etc.



Yep. Folks are sometimes laid off or fired. Unions are causing many
manufacturing companies to move overseas.

And during that time (being laid off) and looking for a new job many do
indeed take a job at Target instead of living off the teats of the
government.




Your other comment:

What we consider poor is defined as rich in many countries. Owning a
car,
having tv's, cell phones, air conditioning, a house and perhaps a boat.

As long as our working people are better off than those in Bengladesh,
things are OK?

Where did I say that? What I did say was that our poor are not so when
compared to other parts of the world.


The way to increase the number of rich people is not to redefine rich
as "owning a cell phone and a TV". :-)


If you are poor then you should funnel your time and money into getting a
better job, not chatting on a cell phone or watching tv. If you are content
in being poor, then owning a cell phone and 42 inch color tv makes perfect
sense....eh Chuck?
