I love how people assume that those who are poor are poor with choice. Because as someone who has a part-time job that doesn't give me any benefits and I'm starting to swim in debt, I need either a full time job or another part-time job. Guess what? NEITHER ARE EASY TO FIND. And have fun living on 7.25 an hour.
As someone who is poor and grew up poor I can't actually think of anyone I know that was "Cheating the system". I'm not saying they don't exist but I really don't think they are as common as these people seem to think they are.
I've never heard of people thinking poor people are different now than then. That is the most ridiculous thing I've heard in a while.
OH and every time I see this argument, all I hear is this:
