Q27. Some have said that one reason many people, especially many people of color cannot break free from poverty is that the deck is stacked against them, that is, there are public policies, and practices
in the market place that advantage white people and disadvantage people of color. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this position?

Q28. Some have said that many people remain in poverty not due to their own choices or because they do not share the same values as other people but rather because living in poverty is so stressful that
it causes a kind of trauma that affects the poor and the decisions they make. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this position?
