Since neither the rich nor the poor are deserving of their position, they should neither enjoy the benefits nor shoulder the burdens that came their way. The reason, I believe, is that so representing the facts about others' beliefs will suggest that there is some grave injustice afoot when some people remain poor. It is due to the stubbornness of the rest of us that these poor folks aren't getting sufficient help from the government. But the fact is that neither are America's poor really all that poor, nor are they all that blameless for being poor, at least not all of them. Quite a few of them refuse to prepare themselves for coping successfully with their economic challenges.
Millions embark upon family life when they are ill prepared for it.
Millions stop their education way before they should. And the story could go on. But for now what is so interesting is that one of the major newspapers refuses to tell it like it is and deliberately distorts the facts.
