Poverty exists because of bad values. It is that simple. The majority of poor people think wealth is a sin. It is not surprising their moral high ground is a swamp.

It is all too human to find comfort in blame. As a result, the goal to lift oneself out of poverty is entirely forgotten. On the other hand, winners do not waste time with excuses.

Do you want to succeed? Or would you like to have the most beautiful, heart-wrenching story of your failure.

Laziness divided by opportunity = cannot divide by zero.

Laziness may or may not have anything to do with it. Many rich people are lazy too. But rich people certainly do not hate success.

I thought poverty was due to lack of money.

That's like saying Feminism was due to lack of dicks. ;-)

Isn't it ironic?

It's also all to human to blame others' misfortune on themselves, to be selfish and inconsiderate once one is "above" the struggle to make a living, etc.

Justifying the rich and powerful is the oldest philosophical endeavour known to man.

What did the Walton heirs do to merit their inherited wealth?

That's the funniest thing I have ever heard.
I guess being a man is due to lack of a vagina. What a relief. Who needs the plumbing problems.
