Beater and is going to break down every two seconds and we have to pay for repairs and its always in the shop, there is no reason to do that. so we didnt. we held on to it. >> you also say you learned that poverty is a circumstance, not a value judgment. what about the idea that in this country, hard work can lead you out of poverty? do you still believe that? >> i dont think that there are many people on assistance that are not hard workers. and i feel that that would be the main point of the p...
