“Poverty is a moral failure, not a systemic issue”
Agree
- Personal responsibility determines most outcomes
- Countless immigrants arrive poor and succeed
- Bad choices perpetuate poverty cycles
- Welfare enables continued poor decision-making
Disagree
- Ignores structural barriers and discrimination
- Born circumstances massively affect opportunities
- Blaming victims is cruel and ignorant
- Economic mobility data disproves this completely
