It's absolutely fair IMO ...

Most of the wealth is earned, not inherited and saying otherwise is denying ...

 

It's inherited by birth in a sense. Where you're born is very, very important.

 

A bum in the closest city can easily earn over $1.90 an hour. Let alone a day. 

No, it's comes down to intelligence and making the right choices. A person who's born into wealth can lose everything easily and a person who's born into squalor can rise out of it.

This is what homeless can make if they use their mind in other ways

If someone has been poor their whole life, most likely it's their fault.

Try saying that to the girls in India who have sex in order to get $$$

 

I would tell her or them save up money and relocate. They have an out. People have choices. 

She can get away, go to school, get job, enjoy new life, find a decent guy, have a family, raise kids and send 'em to school so they can have a good life.

Most people in her situation choose a different route.

Doesn't save money, doesn't think, stays there, does drugs, drinks, has kids from random people, doesn't take care of kids, gets sick, can't afford meds and eventually dies. Kids have to survive on their own and most likely will repeat most of her life choices unless they use their intelligence to get a better life.
