Poor people today have computers, laptops, iphones, multiple tvs, cars etc etc etc etc. Lets not pretend "poor" means "sleeps on a dirt floor and eats squirrels to survive in the Appalachia Mountains"
Imagine if the predominant message was "you can do it" and people like you, across the world stopped saying "you can't do it". Then you'd have real change.

Motivation and hope are important, but to say there is nothing stopping people is just stupid.
Born to a family in poverty, poor in money and education, bad schools, living in bad housing, with high unemployment, no training and poor transport.
To be born into a wealthy family, sent to private school with small classes, living in good housing with good food and health care and told that you are born to rule.
Imagine if people were told they could take power redistribute power and wealth and run the country for the many and not the few.
