Could the poor be getting poorer because they don't want to work? Hell,
we've got 10-15 million (depending on who is talking) illegal aliens who
came here and found jobs. If they *are* the poor you refer to, then it's
their own damn fault, and their poverty is certainly skewing the
statistic.

Did you know that most poor people do work? In some cases, much longer
and harder everyday than people who are well off.

Most? Proof?

Ask some of them.


There is no direct
correlation between the amount of work one is willing to do and the
amount of money they can expect to make. Motel maids,
landscape laborers, food service workers, agricultural laborers, and
(increasingly) construction laborers are very hard working people who
cannot earn a living wage in a typical 8-9 hour shift.

Then they need to find another field of work, learn a trade or go to
college. Their destiny is in their hands.



Tough to do when you already work 12-16-18 hours a day.
