Let's try a little social experiment.

Let's take everything away from Ben Carson. Let's put him on the street. I'm sure he'll make it right back to where he was. Right?

 

[Yoshimitsu126]

Oh cool a rich person telling poor people their proper place.

 

[noquarter]

Think he is willing to place a $1 bet on it?

I don't know. Crippling poverty feels pretty damn real to a lot of people, Ben.

 

[Soapbox Killer]

How is saying that poverty is a state of mind not wrong?

It is both a state of being in a "broke as shit way" as well as a state of mind. Just because some crazy dude says something right he doesn't stop being crazy. There are ways that I could explain this but I'm not sure I'm smart enough to say it and not get banned. I'll try.

 

[RoyaleDuke]

Wow I didn't know the solution to my families crippling poverty was as simple as a change of heart.

You take somebody that has the right mindset, you can take everything from them and put them on the street, and I guarantee in a little while they'll be right back up there,"

Feel free to put your money where your mouth is by trying this yourself.

The world's densest neurosurgeon is ignoring all the other variables that can negatively affect someone with the "right mindset" and the fact that the hypothetical person who you take everything from still has the knowledge, skills, and connections that got them there in the first place.

 

[innervision961]

He is right you know, it is a state of mind. The state of mind of the million and billionaire sociopaths who horde a grotesque amount of our common wealth is absolutely a dangerous and disgusting "state of mind".

 

[TestOfTide]

Do you guys think Ben Carson mains Zenyatta? Except he never orbs anyone?

 

[Kyzer]

the feel of poor

 

[Jamiaro]

So the widow who was laid off from her middle class job and lost her health insurance and now works multiple crummy borderline minimum wage jobs while living in what amounts to a storage container so she can pay to keep her sick kid alive... just needs the power of positive thinking?

Somebody better tell her

This sounds horrible.

 

[Jombie]

So if a child is starving, their parents can just tell them 'it's all in their mind'?

The gop is a death cult, and fuck anyone that thinks that dems are' just as bad'.

 

[Wag]

Well, at least we know what his favorite movie is...

 

[PrivateWHudson]

Did he just see Trading Places recently or some shit?

Trading Places is kind of the opposite. Give a homeless guy power and resources and he can out maneuver the elite by using his street smarts.

 

[Woo-Fu]

Wonder what his goal was in saying something like that in an interview? He's going to need a foot surgeon with aim like that.

 

[Mechanized]

So is this guy like an idiot savant or something? It's the only explanation.

 

[soldat7]

Being Ben Carson is a state of mind. A crazy one.

 

[enzo_gt]

What you need to do is visualize some roast beef and gravy!

Came here to post this.

SMH.

Ben Carson - State of Mind, the title of his failed debut album.

Look at you entitled middle-class people, wanting a better life. I know some middle-class people who became millionaires, why can't you? You're just too lazy. All you need is my book "The Millionaire Mindset" with its 5 quick steps to riches and you'll be set. Now watch as I craft government policy around this idea.
