A new poll finds most U.S. adults think personal choices are a major driver of poverty and homelessness, while fewer blame a lack of government support.
my favorite is “Just take risks, and success will find you”
Yeah, its real easy to take risks when you parents worth 45 hojillion dollars, who can throw a million bucks at every one of your dumb ideas until one sticks without even noticing as more than a rounding error.
For the average american, if they take a risk and fail, their life is utterly ruined forever.
I usually counter those arguments with “So how come you’re not a multimillionaire?” “How come you’re not (CEO, Foreman, successful business operator, position of leadership)?” “How come you didn’t buy your house with cash?” Etc.
This comes from the same mindset that states:
“If you don’t like the interest rate on your credit card, just pay it off and close it”
“I am a self made man. I started with nothing, and had to take a small 10 million dollar loan from my father to get started”
“If your job doesn’t pay you enough, then quit and get one that does”
People are sooooo out of touch with reality.
