Other families who are poor do what they can to get out of it. My mother did not. She did not utilise her resources. She had a degree.

Socialism states that you owe me something simply because I exist. Capitalism, by contrast, results in a sort of reality-forced altruism: I may not want to help you, I may dislike you, but if I don't give you a product or service you want, I will starve. Voluntary exchange is more moral than forced redistribution. Ben Shapiro
