Maybe you should put the photo of orphans in the poverty article (see Barriers to opportunities) after this comment in this article: "When it comes to poverty in the United States, there are two main lines of thought. The most common line of thought within the U.S. is that a person is poor because of personal traits." Stars4change (talk) 02:45, 29 December 2009 (UTC)Reply

Ferdinand Lundberg said in "The Rich and the Super-Rich" "Nobody, first of all, would be rich if he had not been favored by circumstances. Favoring general circumstances in the United States have been: a naturally rich virgin continent, an enlarging widely skilled population, a basic law designed to facilitate private property under earlier purely agrarian-mercantile circumstances, an expanding technology that took multiplied advantages of agrarian-mercantile law and a plethora of PURCHASABLE officials!..." He lists more but the first sentence should be all that's needed. Stars4change (talk) 02:52, 29 December 2009 (UTC)Reply
