history: I care about most poor people.  But I have more sympathy for those who are actually trying to improve their situation, than those who are just looking for a handout I've got more sympathy for poor people who are actually trying to improve their situation_comma_ than those who are just looking for a handout Well of course..Like all the drunks and druggies begging for money who won't work on my corner? Most people are poor..and work hard!
current: Agreed.  It's a common misconception to think all poor people are lazy.  Some just have it rougher than others I know I did coming from a third world country.  But now I'm fully self-employed own my own car rent my own apartment and live life on my own terms
next: Poor people are the hardest workers in america usually..It's corps that have a HUGE pay gap and the CEOs make ridiculous money while the people keeping the companies don't even make a living wage
