In your opinion, all are poor people oppressed?

[Anonymous]

I don't mean like 50% or 75%. I mean 100%.

Yes, I believe all poor people are oppressed.

No, I do not believe that.

See answers.

I would say the poor are undesirablely brutalized. My upmost strongest belief is "we are only as strong as our weakest defense." So in building the greatest society to ever exist we need to strengthen our weakest points of our society.

The poorest should be invested in to grow our foundation of basic needs from there we can do the impossible.

Being poor is a choice. Poory people will deny this to their dying day, but it's extremely true. Somebody made the decision (s) not to set and pursue life goals, not study, and waste money on frivolous things like cigarettes, alcohol, or other drugs. Someone opted NOT to attend some type of career training. Etc, Etc, Etc, Etc...

I think the poor have earned little respect, and get pissy about it. However, they are not oppressed.

They can leave, they can hang out all day, they can get a skill off of youtube, they can still live a better life than most middle class people in the world as they have clean water, electricity and access to emergency healthcare.

Not oppressed. I think most poor people are too bust trying to eek out a living to ever look up. It wasn't until I started developing financial security that I realized how many things are designed to keep me (to keep us) on the treadmill.

Not 100% of most groups are anything. People are individuals.

In some ways yes. It’s complex.
