Many people think people remain poor because they’re lazy.
In reality, the odds are stacked against them.
I have spent many years working with people in our inner city.
Most families don’t own a car.
Because of the high theft rate, auto insurance rates are through the roof.
So, many of those who find employment must rely on the local bus system.
The inner city schools don’t have the resources of the suburban schools.
Gaining a college degree requires a herculean effort.
Most colleges require inner city high school graduates to take college preparation classes before they are admitted.
I know two recent college graduates who required ten years to make it happen.
It is possible for some to make it out of poverty.
The obstacles, however, are overwelming.
