Poverty is an attitude.

An old man once told me, "You can't take people out of poverty until you take poverty out of the people."

And here’s the liberal’s strategy: you can’t take the people out of wealth until you take the wealth out of people.

I would also Posit that poverty is a matter of perception.

I would suggest that the native Americans and other native peoples around the world that lived as hunter gatherers were not poor, in fact until they came in contact with the west most were perfectly happy and many probably believed that they had everything.

I truly believe that,

Poverty is a state of mind and a way of life.
