Well, if you want to go to Whole Foods and buy things there, it is more expensive to buy all the fresh fruits and things.

There was a book written by Charles Murray years ago called Coming Apart.
And it compared people and said, these are the rich people in your society and these are the poor people.
It just divided into two groups.
And the two main statistics that put you in either rich group or poor group, having kids before you were married and education.
uh yep yeah yeah but this wasn't racial this was uh based on um whether or not you um you know uh we're in one of those two categories but i would teach this in home economics i wouldn't teach morality i wouldn't teach people that it's evil to have sex i would say that the odds are the statistics are if you have not had your children you have a choice the statistics are overwhelming
that if you have your kids before you're married, you'll be poor.
