I disagree, because I know of all low-income families, if the parents are good, and love children love family, desperate efforts to change your fate, will work hard. So not every low-income families.

I dont agree, I think that lowincome families try to work harder to earn more money. But, i guess that maybe they have tried and it didnt work out so they just gave up and dont care anymore.

I dont quit understand what they are asking us to do

Cathy,

I dont agree with that at all. Just because someone has low income doesnt mean they always give up, sometimes they cant better themselves anymore then they already are. Sometimes people do give up, but thats not always the case.

I disagree with this statement. My reasons for disagreeing are most people who are unemployed try to find jobs. There are a lot of people unemployed in this harsh economy. Both of my partents are unemployed and are trying hard to find jobs.

I think that low income families work harder than the families that have a higher income. Especially if you are a single parent and have a low income it may be harder.

I Agree because some familys that have a low income because of there jobs think that there income will never go up so they dont try to work hard to raise it, or better them selves.

Justice Rowe,

No i diagree with the statement giving. I think that if you have a low income or no money that it would encourage you to make more money for you and your family, and not just give up on hope.

If you have a low income and you are still getting bye than why would you need more money you would not spend it so it would just build up till you have so much you would get robbed.

I think that some familys try and work hard to make a better living or try to get a good job with a high income, but when you try and it doesn't happen then most people just give upo because they feel that they have tryed to hard already.

Kerstin, I dont agree with you. Just because someone has low income doesnt mean that they arent going to work to try and make it higher. What if theres a sitiuation were their income cant get any higher then it already is? And sometimes they may try, but get no result. Also, having a low income doesnt nessasarily mean they need to better themselves.

I do and do not agree with that statement. Some people who have low income work hard to make money. But from my own experiences my mom works at a employment agency and sees people come in looking for a job but they don't want one. If they get a job they go to work and don't show up after lunch. Most people who come in there just was unemployment.

i agree with this statement because my mom has a employee thats works at her store she has 5 kids and a lazy "boyfriend". She is the only money supplyer of the house hold. She only works 25 hours a week. My mom wants to give her more hours but she wont take them.

I disagree with both Anthony and Kerstin. I think that if they are making low income they will try to better them self to make more for them and there family.

Kerstin you have a good point. Such as of right now. Us teens can work hard with our grades now and when we get to college get good grades also and you can get a job that will offer you a higher income than others.

No, You can't just get a new job. You will have to be good at it and know what your doing. If you can find a new and better job then give it all you got for yourself and family.
