re: #239 Obdicut

But being in poverty increases the chance of becoming a meth addict. You prefer to ignore this, because you’re an ideologue. It also decreases your chances of being able to mitigate the ill health effects. Rich alcoholics can get top-notch care. Poor alcoholics can’t. It has much more of an effect on their health. But you want to ignore that. You’re very transparent.

I love how you’re trying to claim the poverty is their fault, too. You’re a class act.

Your debating tactics are, as usual, not straight. You twist everything that is said.

Can you imagine that someone might be poor BECAUSE of such habits? That they made a good living before they got into all that?

The question at issue is whether lack of money, to the degree under discussion, as such, for a person who in other respects is just like the middle class, who isn’t poor as a side effect of self destructive habits, will cut short their life, beyond a few years perhaps.
