Ben Carson Calls Poverty a ‘State of Mind,’ Igniting a Backlash
You aren't allowed to tell people that their attitudes, beliefs and behaviors keep them in poverty... Even if you're a person raised by a single mom in Detroit that grew up to be a freakin neurosurgeon at Johns Hopkins.
Also of interest is how blatantly the headline mid-characterizes what he said.
Whenever I (all too frequently) see these people bleating on about how life is unfair, they deserve this, they're entitled to that, about how anyone who doesn't support their political agenda of violently-enforced redistribution is evil, blah blah blah...
I just imagine a herd full of rescued farm animals. Eating all the grass and bleating for more. Eating it faster than their well-meaning rescuer can grow new grass. Then angrily attacking their benefactor when the grass runs out.
And then dying of starvation. Naturally, they're just herd animals, so they remain completely oblivious to the fact that they were the cause of their own death.
