Question

Is poverty a state of mind​

Answer 1

Yes and no. there are a lot of things that go into that.

Answer 2

Answer:

Yes and no

Explanation:

This is a very complicated question to be honest some people can escape it and don't take the opportunity because they don't like the idea of working hard and will take the free government assistance, but I would say a large majority don't have this opportunity because as the need for higher education increases entry level jobs decrease as those are becoming automated. If education was cheaper and minimum was higher and were some how able to decrease inflation the wage gap in atleast America would decrease and help eliminate some of poverty. There are also alot of other problems such a private prisons that keep people in the system because they can't get jobs making them revert back to crime to keep food on the table and red lining which stops funding from getting to those impoverished areas. Example of red lining: did you know that federal funding for schools are based on property tax so if you live in a extremely wealthy area the school will get lots of funding, but if you live in an area that is poor or impoverished they get significantly less funding which is completely backwards if anything those poor areas should get more funding and help to make sure all students get equal opportunity. So the long answer is no for the majority of people, but you should look into this more it's a very interesting topic tbh.
