Economics 101: Work hard and you won't be poor.

@firefall: i died.

Sounds like a bunch of liberal Ivory Tower BS.

@USAalltheway: that would be reality to you, dipshit. And I invite you to go to the nearest Dennys or IHOP, especially the morning shifts, and observe all the people working their asses off, and making jackshit. Or Walmart/Sams Club will present you the same dynamic. There's a shitton of jobs around paying minimum wage that demand lots of hard work, but you'll still be on the povertyline with them, no matter how hard you work.

Or I could dig up a dozen cites from economics journals proving the same (usually in 5000 word blurbs).

From economic journals run by ivy tower liberals. Nice try.

@USAalltheway: so, you're too bone-ass lazy to do the outlined research yourself?


And I can get cites on this from the Cato Institute if you prefer, it's not exactly an ideological football as concepts go

@USAalltheway: you are so ignorant its like talking to a cow

I've already done the research. I get my research from the real world, not from academics sitting in their ivy towers.

@USAalltheway: so, oh bovine one, show us the Denny's waitresses and Walmart servers and McDonalds burger flippers who avoid being poor by their hard work.

My buddy Jeff works at McDonalds and his dad buys him whatever he needs. See, this is where real-world examples tell you things that you could never learn at an ivory league college.

@USAalltheway: because its stupid AF! You didnt make your point at all with that example. His dad buys him things why? Cuz hes poor

But If he's poor then why does he have so much nice stuff? #CommonSense

@TryingtoLava: #trolling 😂
