I think the rich see the poor as a problem. Not poverty as the problem, the poor themselves.
“Pull yourselves up by your bootstraps”, they say.
“Anyone can succeed in America.”
“You have only yourself to blame for your poverty.”
“Everyone is equal in America.”
It’s just that the rich are a little more equal than everybody else, so you lose. Again.
Just because the uber wealthy are all rich white men, doesn’t mean it isn’t economic racism.
As much as I’d like to see it stick, I’m hoping…and firmly believe, that no President should be allowed to have such power. These are things that should be decided by votes. The President is not a king and cannot just proclaim things. Even things that are actually for our own good.
There’s the government for ya…taking care of your data…as it’s floating around on those laptops. It’s ALL your data really. I mean, the government works FOR us right? I wonder who sold their work laptops knowing they’d probably never get caught. Did they wipe the drive first?
Oh wait…this is the UK Government. Nevermind then, Americans.
