"Intellectuals have a great tendency to see poverty as a great moral problem to which they have a solution. The human race began in poverty, so there is no mysterious explanation as to why some people are poor, the question is, why have some people gotten prosperous." T. Sowell

Thomas Sowell dismantles a widespread belief: that poverty is a moral problem whose solution belongs to intellectuals. Humanity, he reminds us, (after the great fall )began in poverty. There’s nothing surprising about that. What truly deserves explanation is why some societies and some individuals managed to create wealth, and why some did so better than others. Much of today’s public debate skips that question entirely and simply assumes that poverty is the default condition of mankind and that wealth is something that has to be “explained” or “justified” — usually as the result of exploitation or some other moral failing.

“There’s no explanation needed for poverty—the species began in poverty. What you really need to know is what are the things that enable some countries and some groups within countries to become prosperous.” — Thomas Sowell

"I know lots of great poor people. I know lots of great rich people. Virtue does not have anything to do per se with poverty or with riches. Unless, of course, it is your bad decisions to harm others that are leading to your poverty, which actually is a thing. The reality, again, is that when it comes to you know, seeking fulfillment, capitalism is not the obstacle. Capitalism is there to help you provide for your family and give you the ability to do things no one else could do.” Ben Shapiro

Unemployment and poverty is DELIBERATE. The ANC wants to have as many unemployed and poor people as they are easily controllable. ANC is pro anything that makes South Africans unemployed and poor: illegal immigration, de-industrialisation etc.

Thomas Sowell: “I regard poverty as simply the absence of wealth, so what I look for are the things that cause wealth to occur.” “Everyone is born poor and ignorant. To the extent that people become different, we have to find out what things enable them to become different.”

"This video is viral." 🔥🔥 People are sharing it claiming that poor people are happier than the rich. Really? Good to see them smiling, but why glorify poverty? Go and ask how they feed their kids. This poverty-porn mindset is not justifiable.

"You don’t NOT have enough money because someone on welfare is getting poverty wages from the government. You don’t have enough money because Republicans have been engaged in a 60-year campaign tricking people into thinking that cutting taxes for millionaires and billionaires is going to trickle down to the poor... Republicans will tell people making $60,000 a year that the people making $30,000 are the problem to cover for the people making millions a year." Full video:

Great to meet Gordon Brown in Fife to see the work of the Big House Multibank. Ending child poverty is Labour’s moral mission: it’s why I entered politics and it’ll be my top priority as deputy leader.

Putin spoke about "traditional family values" and urged Russians to have more children. We know why he wants more children - the supply of cannon fodder for the frontlines is running out. There is also a growing labor shortage, which is why people in Russia have started talking about children as young as 12 being allowed to work. Poor kids.
