When you have regular paycheck, and house loan (in other words, living the american dream), and get fired, you lose everything at once
People don't lose their homes and everything immediately once they lose their job. You are severely mistaken. Foreclosures on average can take up to 3 years. That's a very long time for you to get another job and figure things out. Additionally, we have this thing called "Unemployment" here in the United States that lasts for 18 months. Someone who was clearing say $4,000/month can get $1,800/month clear. No where near the same amount, but it's enough to cover your car payments, utilities and buy food. You then set aside your house payments, notify the bank that you are searching for another job, and they give you A LOT of time to figure out what you are going to do. You make it sound like people lose their jobs and houses all in the same day :heiligenschein:. That's insanity. It takes on average 6 months for the foreclosure process to even begin! And for it to finalize can take years. Also, Chapter 13 bankruptcy, where you can be free of all debt and start over if need be. People do it all the time with their debt where they owe hundreds of thousands because they are bad spenders, debt is immediately vaporized.
Where is China at in any of these Graphs? What kind of chart is this without documenting the world's largest Richest to Poorest ratio .

So yes therefore my assumption is correct when I say people are LAZY. The majority of people who are at poverty level are individuals who are not receiving disability. Therefore that means they are NOT DISABLED. If they aren't disabled then they should be working. If they aren't working, then they are lazy.
There are people out there who try and don't have much sure, but they could work 2 jobs then. I work 7 days a week for what I have, I'm on call 24 hours a day. I never stop working. I'm getting paid for posting this very thread. So spare me the graphs and pie charts. Anyone can make up a graph and say "Hey look, see, everyone is richer than me!".
America is an Empire and an Empire for a reason. For people like me and the ones who work hard and innovate to succeed! I will
never be poor, and that is by choice. If I lost my job today, if my company went bankrupt. I would just go back to Machining again. If I couldn't get a job there, I would work 2 jobs at fast food restaurants if need be. That's 80 hours a week times $8/hour = 640/wk, approx $500 clear. That's $2,000/month to get me by until I do find something else. All I see are excuses in this country, around the world and in this very thread. It's pathetic.
People in this country who are "poor" get FREE MONEY, FREE HOUSES, FREE FOOD, FREE UTILITIES, FREE HEALTHCARE, FREE PHONES, FREE COUNSELING, FREE BUS FARE. You just don't understand as I told you the other day in our conversation. You don't understand at all. The majority of those receiving the "FREE RIDE" as I call it, are people who aren't DISABLED.
I go Grocery Shopping and see someone in front of me with a wad of 100 dollar bills pull out a SNAP card and pay for $500 worth of food. A SNAP card is a free government food card. While I'm standing there looking at my last $500 dollars cash for the week to buy myself food for 2 weeks. Give me a damn break here. It happens all the time. People come up to me in the store asking if I would like to buy $400 worth of food off of their card for $300. It's a joke out here. This Poor to Rich doesn't mean a damn thing. Because even the POOR aren't POOR unless they want to be. It's insane! Were already a Socialist nation and people don't even know it yet :rofl:.
