> . It's the 'way of the world' out there today. They have created an economy that unless you are born into the super-rich, you have to be a slave to the work-grind. And they keep taking more and more from us, so soon we will have just a few very, very rich people and all the rest of us will be working-class peasants.
That is so true! Its despicable that minimum wage is not enough for ANYONE to live on. At all. Period.
Today I took a wrong turn and ended up in a really, really well to do neighborhood. I've seen nice houses, but DAMN! I kept just stopping my car in the middle of the road staring. These places were just SO ELEGANT! Now I've driven through the unimaginably big mansion neighborhoods to look at xmas lights and stuff, but the fact that these weren't quite that big, but still so WOW, just gave me such a weird feeling. So many people live like this and don't know anything different! And the worst of it is, these people are probably only considered upper middle class!
Thanks for your kind words. This is actually a good thing. Now I have a chance to recover from all I've been through, and still get paid while I'm at it! Maybe this once the system will work in the little guys favor! (fingers crossed nothing goes wrong).
