The Left's culture insures that the poor will always be with them
What happens when the poor come to their senses?
They find that it is nearly impossible to get their lives back. To begin with, they have no manners. Wealthier people know when to turn on the manners and when to turn them off, but poor people don’t. They use inappropriate language at the wrong times, and they pay for it. Or they have offputting tattoos that make any advance into a decent management position nearly impossible. Even if their manners are tolerable and their tattoos are hidden or nonexistent, their rebellious attitudes toward their employers may make it impossible for them to advance and may even get them fired. -- We Need a Cultural Revolution - I Want a New Left

Actually, the analogy is more like this: Some time ago, during the height of the elephant poaching in Africa, they found quite a few orphaned males. They tried to raise them and reintroduce them to the wild, but found the males were extremely aggressive and violent. They attributed this to their lack of socialization - not being around other older male elephants. So they fostered the orphaned males in captivity with older males, and allowed them to learn - emphasis here - what it was to be an adult male elephant.
If you don't see the relevance of this you're missing something big.

My father said something like this 30 years ago. He pointed out that the rich girls I went to school with could do dumb stuff and recover- their dads could send them to the finest rehab clinic in the country or out of town to a new school but when poor kids mess up it's over. I never forgot it.
