I never claimed all poor people were poor because they blew their money on silly things. Some people. Other people are poor because of large families, lack of interest in developing real job skills, etc, etc. Claiming all poor people are poor because of frivolus spending makes just as much sense as the claims in this brief that all the poor black people are poor because of high taxes and interest rates.

I learned a long time ago to not blindly accept the assertions in any publication, especially one which provides no backup information or explanation of sources. Otherwise you're likely to believe in nonsense and fairy tales like the ones postulated in this brief.
