  1. Chronic poverty does not create mental illness, but there is a lot of dysfunction surrounding the people mired in it. You can just feel the sadness, the sense of feeling defeated, helpless, etc. It really sucks.

  2. Hmm, a slightly simplistic view of capitalization of IQ. Yes, if you have a super high IQ but come from a poor family, that family will simply not have the financial wherewithal to put you through law school or medical school. However, if said super bright person is motivated and disciplined, there are always scholarships and or joining the military.
