        He is right on this. There is a big difference between being "broke," and being "poor." I've been broke with 0 money. Never poor though.

        It is! You can strive for more by, working hard, choosing a job that has potential not fast food, or school. You choose poverty over working

        Like praying-away-the-gay, Dr Benny believes you can pray-away-the-poors, making it rain money. Just ask for a prayer cloth. $50 each.

        The only thing that should surprise anyone is that it took this long to hear Carson say something like, "pray your poverty away."
