Time - Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson called poverty a "state of mind" that children learn from their parents at a young age during a recent interview.
"I think poverty to a large extent is also a state of mind. 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," Carson said during an interview on SiriusXM Radio that will air Wednesday night, according to the Washington Post.
"And you take somebody with the wrong mindset, you can give them everything in the world, they'll work their way right back down to the bottom," Carson added.
