May you reap what you sow, Friend....Sometimes you have to suffer to understand reality.
Back before the 2008 meltdown, we had a lot of DUers like you and I could name names but won't.
They blamed all the problems of the poor on the poor. One even claimed that she didn't even know anyone who made less than 100 grand a year, and that those of us struggling just weren't trying hard enough. She is no longer here or is using a sock puppet.
Soon after that, there was a question on DU: what's our biggest problem in the US?
I answered "growing poverty and income inequality." At the time, I was ignored. Now a lot of DUers are in poverty. They finally get it.
I only wish for you enlightenment. by whatever means necessary
And I note how afraid you are to debate facts, as TBF gave you quite a few and you appear too afwaid to address those pesky "facts," instead accusing the poster of being a conspiracy theorist for pointing out the FACTS even economists say are TRUE.
So your motive isn't discussion, it's denial of reality to make yourself feel better.
