... and still, nothing you say actually disproves the concept of free will. All it proves is that, like all human beings (myself included) you've taken a viewpoint and you're sticking to it, damn the consequences. Personally, I think you're wrong. If we have no true free will then we aren't any better than... well, rocks. Or trees. Or crap like that. Determinism, which is what you're talking about, requires that we take paths because that's our destiny. In that case, it is simply the destiny of some to be poor. This is where your argument goes, not mine. Yours. If we have no free will, if all our choices are predetermined and predictable, then why fight it? Why try to lift the poor out of their state? Indeed, why try to remove these class barriers that have been erected? It is, after all, determined to be thus.

Your argument, logically concluded.
