Given the Conservative economic leaning people who populate these forums, this post will undoubtedly fall on deaf ears. It goes against their beliefs to even consider something like this. Can't support your family? Should never have had one. No High school diploma? Should've worked harder or not dropped out. Stuck in minimum wage jobs? Your fault for not learning skills needed to get higher paid jobs. It ignores extenuating circumstances, and is a broad stereotyping procedure, but such is a belief system. Neither better nor worse than any other. Just different.
