No, poverty only teaches you how to be poor.

You start believing that you're poor because you're stupid and ugly. And then you start believing that you're stupid and ugly because you're Indian. And because you're Indian you start believing you're destined to be poor. It's an ugly circle and there's nothing you can do about it.

It's not like they gambled away their family fortunes. My parents came from poor people who came from poor people who came from poor people, all the way back to the very first poor people.

But I can't do that. Nobody can do that, not even the hungriest magician in the world.I wish I were magical, but I am really just a poor reservation kid living with his poor family on the poor Spokane Indian Reservation.

I figured it wouldn't do me any good if they knew I was dirt poor.What would they think of me if they knew I sometimes had to hitchhike to school?Yeah, so I pretended to be middle class. I pretended I belonged.
