Interesting viewpoint. So laziness = a normal level of ambition? If someone does what they need to do to live comfortably, does that mean that they're lazy? Maybe this doesn't relate to the OP at all, but I guess I don't understand your definition of lazy. Does someone always have to be moving up in a career in order to not be lazy? What about small business owners who do the same thing for 10 years? They're not "moving up," but they're getting by just fine, providing for their families and paying their taxes. Does that mean they're lazy?

Once again, confusion on definitions here. So, stupid = uneducated, with inequitable access to resources? I still do not understand how one's economic status say anything about one's level of intelligence... but, I suppose that's something we won't be agreeing on anytime soon.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but you seem convinced that "poor people" are, in effect, lazy and stupid.
