Please after voting, add a little comment on why did you pick that option?

Besides the "Others" you should have an "All of the above"

But, I'll just stay marxist and say CAPITALISM!

Some people are better with money than others. If you would divide all the money in the world evenly to everyone I bet in a decades we would be back on square one.

Some cases could be attributed to corruption, some to a failure in the system (such as welfare which encourages poverty) and then there is just pure laziness of people. I voted for way too many factors, because there truely are so many cases of poverty.

I'm sure every poor or homeless person has their own personal reasons on top of whatever is "helping" them stay in that situation. People that would rather spend their weekly pay on crack than on rent or food for their kids, or people that just got screwed by the system. I'd say it's a mix of a lot of different things that causes it.

Another great post by you

But on topic i would agree with what reise said, everyone has their own reason...while some might just want drugs more than anything they could have just had a string of bad luck
