Ben Carson Speaks Obvious Truth on Poverty, Moonbats Go Ballistic
One thing we know for sure by now is that you can’t fight poverty by throwing other people’s money at it. The $22 trillion wasted subsidizing indigence through the War on Poverty has gotten us nowhere. Maybe we can fight it with countermoonbattery:
Ben Carson, the head of the Department of Housing and Urban Development, faced an intense backlash on Wednesday for calling poverty “a state of mind.”
Mr. Carson, who oversees a department that handles housing for millions of low-income Americans, made the comments during a radio interview on Tuesday with Armstrong Williams, a friend and conservative media personality. During the talk, Mr. Carson, a retired neurosurgeon, said he thought some people were poor because of their outlook on life.
“I think poverty to a large extent is also a state of mind,” he said, according to a transcript of the interview that was released on Wednesday. “You take somebody that has the right mind-set, you can take everything from them and put them on the street, and I guarantee in a little while they’ll be right back up there.”
He added that helping people may not better their lives.
“You take somebody with the wrong mind-set, you can give them everything in the world — they’ll work their way right back down to the bottom,” he said.
Carson was raised by a single mother in inner-city Detroit. He worked his way out of poverty to become a famous brain surgeon. He knows what he’s talking about.
The problem is, moonbats don’t — and they seem to do most of the talking. Their reaction to Carson’s assertion that 2 + 2 = 4 was predictable. For example:
Ben Carson says that poverty is a “state of mind.” You know what else is a state of mind? Always being a blithering idiot.

Takei himself has worked his way up. Once a faintly remembered minor has-been actor, he became a household name by shouting loudly that he is a sexual deviant and won’t tolerate anyone who doesn’t want to congratulate him for it. As you can see, he is now branching out into other aspects of moonbattery.
