She makes a good point about people giving handouts to the street people: the mentally ill, alcoholics, drug addicts; and all the while so many millions of Americans are members of the working poor — those who struggle in silence, only noticed when they go to the market to buy what little they can, using meager SNAP credit cards which those of us who earn enough to survive quite well, thank you very much, pay for with our tax dollars because the corporations that employ these workers are too damn cheap to pay a decent wage. But the employers/corporations are perfectly OK receiving their own form of welfare from our politicians — crony capitalists in the form of major tax incentives.
Imagine, the richest country on earth employs millions of hard-working tax-payers who cannot afford healthcare or enough food to feed their families. And they suffer the wrath of those with a little more money who can’t or won’t take the time to and empathize with the working poor; but actually try to make them feel bad about themselves by calling them “lazy” or “stupid.” This is one sick country. No small wonder we find ourselves with two of the worst presidential candidates in U.S. history squaring off to see which one gets to drive us deeper into depravity. We’re certainly not lacking in funding endless wars around the world to support the lifestyles of the extremely rich who will never have enough wealth to satisfy their hunger.
