Bobert: "I think this a ludicris argument that cannot be backed up with real evidence"

What, in particular, is the argument? First you say the poor pepole cannot own homes and then you say lots of poor people own their own homes.

Is the argument that "Poor people can and do work their way up the ladder of life and get their own homes." Is untrue?

Are you saying that no poor people ever work their way out of poverty and buy a home?

I think that is a ludicrous argument that cannot be backed up by real evidence.

Thirty-three-year-old single mother Rose remembers the scratchy feel of a food stamp in her palm and the embarrassment she felt as she used it to purchase groceries so that her son wouldn't go hungry.
    The Olney resident said she slipped in and out of the welfare system for years as she struggled to scrape together funds for her college classes and the electricity bills for her two-bedroom Silver Spring apartment on a yearly $9,000 salary.
    "I had a dead-end job, not making enough money for the cost of living, to support myself and my son," said Rose, who asked that her last name not be used. "It was just poverty from check to check."
    But thanks to the Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) program, a federal welfare-to-housing program offered through the Montgomery County Housing Opportunities Commission, Rose -- like hundreds of other Montgomery County residents -- has within the past year forged a remarkable turnaround.
    She now has a good-paying job as an administrative assistant for an accounting firm, the keys to a three-bedroom town house and a new lease on life...."
