            Census says 1 in 7 Americans live in poverty.  WOW. If we looked at this in a figurative sense that means, Snow White’s Sleepy is homeless, Monday is homeless, the Egyptian Kings buried in the Pyramids and James Bond himself is homeless. This is odd. It was once said to me that in America, no one can be poor, they can be “broke” but not poor. What this means is that it even though someone with in our country is not as better off as say, Bill Gates, you are still doing pretty good.  USUALLY. Now there are our extremely poor, and they, are pretty much living how MOST people live in Uganda. Minus the cultural ceremonies and the tribal upbringing.

 

             A question I have for America is, “what is poverty?” Because I know a lot of people today make around, say, 17,000 dollars. Have the government paying for their Health Insurance, their mother paying for their car and their paying child support. It’s just how America works. Now, a lot of people try to blame certain politicians for enacting moral programs like say, Health Care reformation. But that is NOT it. What’s really messing up the economy is that GUY! The guy who retires early KNOWING he dosen’t need too! That GUY! The guy who makes $2 million a year and doesn’t want to pay taxes because of those dirty liberals. GREEDY! That’s one of the 7 deadly sins! That’s just mean. That’s like the chicken who doesn’t want to share her bread. It’s just mean.

 

          But hey, who am I to say who’s right and wrong in this world? But I do however believe that you do NOT need to retire at 35 and you DO need to pay your taxes. But that’s just me…
