One has to be very charitable with his words to find a reasonable interpretation of what he's saying. Poverty is literally a lack of money/wealth. There's no way around that reality when you're poor. Also, considering his history of saying stupid things and the administration he's now a part of there's very reason to give him any benefit of the doubt.

He kind of addressed this.. Did you even read the article?

Carson said the government can provide help to those in need.
"I think the majority of people don't have that defeatist attitude, but they sometimes just don't see the way, and that's where government can come in and be very helpful," he added. "It can provide the ladder of opportunity, it can provide the mechanism that will demonstrate to them what can be done."

You've already demonstrated your completely piss poor attitude and work ethic sooo yeah. You don't want to call his point about mindstates relevant because then you might actually have to improve yours and try in life.
