Poor people are poor because they have forsaken God

Whelp, Prosperity Gospel rides again. The poor are poor because they are not "in a relationship with their creator and therefore not being in a good relationship with their families and their communities and not being productive members of society."

Oh, wait. Maybe she means their JOB Creator.

San Antonio mayor blames poverty on ‘broken people’ who aren’t ‘in a relationship with their creator’

The mayor of San Antonio told a group of conservative Christians that she believes poor people are responsible for their own poverty. Mayor Ivy Taylor spoke earlier this month to the Christian Coalition, the successor to the nonprofit political organization founded by Pat Robertson, where the 46-year-old Democrat was asked to comment on “systemic causes of generational poverty, reported the Huffington Post.

“Since you’re with the Christian Coalition, I’ll go ahead and put it out there that to me, it’s broken people,” Taylor said. “People not being in a relationship with their creator and therefore not being in a good relationship with their families and their communities and not being productive members of society.”

So what do you think is the root cause? I would need a couple threads to answer.

On a certain level, I do think poverty may be an outward expression of an inner deficiency.

If you want to understand the cause of a problem, look to the ones who benefit from it, not the ones who suffer from it.

To a point, sure. But there are many facets, here.

Poverty is about lack of education, lack of opportunity and lack of belief in the possibility of doing better. Number three is the most important. Your future is really determined by your beliefs.

Amen Good Dr. Nailed it! That is a hard mentality to break free from. Are you sure you are a liberal? Advocating personal responsibility?

The irony of this thread is that, from what I've seen, the most religious people tend to be poor.

"The word conservative means discriminatory." -- Charles Barkley


Discrimination directly influences economic opportunity through a complex set of social variables. Discrimination brings poverty, higher unemployment, increased reliance on social assistance, and lower wages. Poverty is also stigmatizing and itself leads to further discrimination.
