This was another answer to a survey I took.
Poverty is due to a variety of factors. Not everyone who is jobless is "lazy," in fact, most are not. And besides people below the poverty level, there are countless others (myself included) who are marginalized. These are people who work full time, live in lower income areas, but yet do not make enough money to ever break even. We don't make little enough to qualify for the bit of help we need such as food assistance because they consider what you make before taxes are taken out, not after, and as a single person, I have significant taxes taken out. But I have expenses such as food for myself, and for my son's education. And I have a family member living with me who is unemployed and would be homeless otherwise. My son is in his first year of college and deserves an education. It is impossible for me to work two full time jobs due to physical and mental issues, and no-one should have to endure such stress anyway.
