If I estimate the probabilities wrong then it is not an oversimplification but getting the facts wrong. Of course I'm only generalizing the probabilities. If the statement I made applies to 50% or more of the cases then its pretty significant.


I'd really like you to back up your statements. What I really want to know from you is what am I simplifying?

First you should back up your statements by facts. Can you cite a study,
which proves your statement, that kids with parents on welfare ends up on
welfare, too? I don't think 100% ends up on welfare, so how many do and
why? For which country is this valid?


You can find that in books. I think one I saw was called "The Web of Poverty".

However, having done some volunteer service I have seen a pretty clear trend in families. If the parents are on welfare it kind of rubs off on the kids. They don't do any financial planning, parents do not teach them that because they don't have to do it themselves, they buy stuff on a whim, but they know exactly when the next check is going to be in the mailbox. And it better be there ...
