Off topic (sort of)...

I read this article today and was appalled. Paying poor people state tax dollars for good behavior and grades! The more I learn why rich people are rich and why poor people are poor; the more I really believe that poverty, or staying in poverty rather, is a choice. It's like you are just fixed on finding that "paper sack" and your peripheral vision is cut off and you are so ignorant, so caught up in the consumer / scarcity mode you miss your opportunity that might be right in front of you. We are in control of our lives. We determine the outcome of our circumstances. This article is like open socialism in the US. This won't help poor people become better.
