Scott Turner: “No one wants to be in poverty on purpose.”

“Poverty is not Republican, it's not Democrat. Poverty is not black, it's not white. It impacts every individual, either directly or indirectly. And one thing about poverty is No one wants to be in poverty on purpose. And so our job and our heart is to help every American to get out of poverty and to live a life of independence and self sustainability.” (16:32–16:36)
