Are the Poor to Blame for Being Poor

Introduction Poverty depends on the income earned by households before taxation and is regarded as poverty if this amount is below the standard set by the government (Schriver, 2011). Poverty is an individual who is at the bottom of the income distribution and can not provide himself with the basic need to maintain a healthy life. Schriver (2011) points out that African Americans are experiencing poverty more than Caucasians, and 91% of 52.6% of them are experiencing some poverty in their lifetime.

We live in today's society, we create the conditions to blame the poor for the poor and keep the poor in their remaining life. We are funded from education, medical care and mental health. We pollute the environment, especially in environments where poor people often live, causing health and development problems more. While admitting that wages have stagnated over decades, we demonize public aid. The incumbent president ran for "working", but we are embarrassed that we do not have employment.

The American religion provides a unique ecosystem that encourages the idea of ​​making poor people blame the poor. Poverty is a moral problem, and this is blamed on the poor. Religion builds framework around people who are lacking power and pushes all responsibility to their shoulders. With this ecosystem there is no room to discuss the politics of wealth distribution and there is no need to try to get people out of despair. There is even perceived virtue in people's suffering, hoping that people can reform themselves and ultimately seek the way of justice. When you believe that you are doing the work of God, there is no unfairness.

There is no doubt that I do not want this shameless attack on the poor people. We condemn the poor as lazy. It is because of the poor people because we are not working hard. If we want enough, we blame the poor because we do not take advantage of the opportunities we all can clearly get. We condemn the poor because we drained the system. We condemn the poor misfortune, I never thought about what the real meaning of the poor in America is. I am thinking a lot about poverty and American dreams. He is a wealthy millionaire (and a shameless self-helper), but insists it is a "homemade man". Trump says that millions of playing card games do not seem to be a problem, this story is a blatant lie (# alternatives)
