Most people who believe in a modern free market are typically raised well off and assume that those who are poor are so because they entered the market as middle wage individuals but through laziness or incompetence fell into debt (i.e. its their ass). But poverty is in the majority of cases inherited. To that they say "pick yourself up by your bootstraps" when they themselves never had to. And of course they are often conveniently narrow sighted about how the government help and taxer payer dollars has helped them in say their education or even, suppose, how their family originally came into money through the New Deal. The only time a market is free is when the equally players involved enough to be able to set a balanced competition so that there is no favoritism within the system but we don't have that and that leads to recessions.
