same here, but I'm not so dumb or myopic as to think that it's 'easy' to get out of the poverty trap. If anyone has never been truly poor you have no idea what it's like, and seemingly even if you have, if you're one of those who has a decent brain and can get out of it, that means everyone else can too. Work ethic alone doesn't cut it. For every person who makes it out, there's a hundred more who never did/will.
btw I'm sure that army career helped you out of that situation Rochard, not that I'm saying it was any kind of 'handout', but it's not like you got zero assistance (in return of course for your labour) and just magicked up your way out of it.
Nothing worse than those who forget where they came from, and how it was. I consider myself lucky as fuck, and it really is a case of there but for the grace go I. Sure there are leechers, but tarring everyone with that same brush is dumb as fuck
