when you are poor your are desperate. this behavior is not hard to understand.

why is it not surprising when you actually try and find the source for this claim there actually isn't one.
thought it sounded like bullshit. |

no point even discussing this anyway. when you check out the source there isn't one. it was just made up. usual internet bullshit.

i just cant imagine what sort of a cunt you would have to be to harass poor people when youre already filthy rich yourself probably a big cunt :2 cents: |
Its a well known fact that the lottery is more popular amongst the poor.
The poor often have only little hope. Saving 9% of their money will not suddenly make their problems go away. They often have to much debt and financial problems allready. The people that do not understand this and comment in this thread saying stuff like that they should pay for more education or that these people are keeping themselves down are ignorant people. These ignorant people are the ones that should pay a form of idiot tax instead of the poor....:2 cents: |

not probably but a certainty. His money must be his main source of self esteem. Shallow insecure shit. |
These people need to learn to speak, act and dress normally and make sure they have their HS Diploma and go to community college (Which they should be able to afford if they don't buy lotto tickets, if I remember correctly when I went it was like $100 a class).
Then they could get a decent job that pays at least $12-16 an hour full time pretty easily and if they are smart, maybe even more... and pay for a small apartment, car, going out once in awhile... AND HEALTH INSURANCE! They could do it if they really wanted to! |

Even if they were dumb they should be able to manage this... |
hmm well thats a good sign i dont know anyone who plays lottery or any of that stuff, my grandmother did but she passed after khurricane katrina.
|
so buy some lottery tickets and you are ignorant, poor and unable to turn things around..
you spend the same % on going to the casino, overpaid drinks and over priced steaks and you are an authority on fixing economic balance between classes? I don't think so ;) I don't advocate either personally but there is more to it than that... |
Poor people should spend more money on lottery tickets, they need/want to win more than rich people. 9% of a poor persons income is relative, might be 2 dollars.
|
I use to live in a poor neighborhood and every first of the month the spend a lot on lottery tickets, I felt so bad for them

But about casinos, people who usually have it together, go with $x and think of it as a vacation expense, not an investment. :2 cents: |

Everyone thinks differently. But mostly is it our educations system. How many classes did you take in high school to teach you about investing and controlling money. I cant remember any that taught me how to manage my money. And most parents never tell their kids how much money they how or how much they are in debt. If kids could see this they would learn a lot from it. They see how their parents work so hard but they have so much debt they will not want to be like that.

The whole problem with the system nowadays is that people are insulated from the consequences of their actions.
Remove the social safety nets. Improve the gene pool. There's too much population anyway. |
