I agree. Often its laziness or mistakes which lead to poverty in the United States. Coming from a family at the bottom 5 percentile and a slightly below average area this is evident to me. Historically this was not a problem though because we had a production economy not a service economy, and finding a job without college or other prerequisite was easy. As soon as one grows up and tried they could join the workforce. With a service economy though, planning and education is crucial.
