I watched several clips today of people talking about the lower class. The poor people, the moochers, the raccoons one said. I am so distressed by the way our country is headed. One of the articles stated that 99% of America’s poor had a refrigerator as if having one is a luxury. God forbid that you have a fridge to put your food in after you buy it.
The biggest problem is that the rich and upper class have become so detached from reality that they don’t see that this is a human problem. If for some reason the “moochers” stopped working for a week, their worlds would stop. Who would cut your grass, clean your house, serve you at the restaurant you eat dinner at, ring up your groceries, collect your garbage, watch over your kids at the water park?
Every day some new person comes out ranting about how people need to stop getting a free ride and actually do something instead of wanting the upper 2% to pay more taxes. I don’t believe any of these people have even looked at the people they are asking to pay more. Many have no cars, no homes, no savings. They are living week to week not because they aren't hard workers but because they don’t make enough to save anything. If it was possible for them to switch places for a week with one of them, they would probably be singing a different tune.
Where has our humanity gone… because it definitely isn’t in the Home of the free!
