| The poor don't magically become educated and well-off just because some "smart" people say they'd be better off getting an education and high paying skilled jobs. In an ideal world, maybe everyone can get phD in chemistry, become a experienced mechanic, study meterology, and own a 2500 acre farm, but that's not possible in the real world, at least not in China where there's less than 0.3 acres of arable land for each person. Here in the US, I often hear things like "the people in such and such country are so poor and are being paid so little, therefore we should make them improve their living conditions by boycotting their products". Such is what passes for logic and reasoning for people who live in so much luxury and comfort they can even comprehend what poverty is. |
