Fair enough.
#1 I think there are hundreds of thousands hard-working people not making it. I've met many of them. And for those who are indeed lazy, I have compassion knowing their laziness is a symptom of their impoverishment and oppression. I find ways to provide for immediate needs, feeding them, restoring dignity to them -- that they are made in the Image of God, and then helping bring hope to their dim eyes.
#2 I think your perspective is quite narrow in how you define poverty.
#3 You've bought into the worldly deception spawned by the so-called American Dream.
