That's true but OTOH it's easier to make money when you have money. Starving poor people often end up working 12 hours a day to barely afford housing and food with no time for anything else. Either that or they go on welfare and just stay home. I guess that's the problem, which one would you do? We need to remove "Hand outs" and replace them with a "Hand Up". For the struggling middle class we need a "Helping Hand" (No Handjobs
) to keep them from falling when times get tough. The bailouts should have went to the middle classes, not the upper classes. That money would have served that function and most would have eventually ended up in the same place anyway. Though some of it would make a difference for the average Joe.
