Poverty in America: Greater Than Statistics Indicate

I sympathize with RangerScience on this one; the schism between successful individuals who refuse to acknowledge society's role in aiding their success (subsidies, infrastructure, taxes, etc.), versus the less successful who continually get steamrolled over for the former's further advantage.

Its obviously more complex than that, but I've met a few who don't help much in the former's depiction.

Sorry, I was unclear. I didn't post that to disagree with their point (though like you I think it's overly simplistic), I was disagreeing with the childish tone. That's not a way to have a productive conversation, or to be a good member of our community.

I think the parent is pointing out that the wording on their parent comment is not helping change anyone's mind.
