(11,925 posts)financial abuse, is abuse..taking away and exploiting lives and playing social darwinist to increase profit is what capitalist culture IS.
If you are poor you are a useless eater,if you don't bust your ass all day you are 'lazy'
Our culture is inhuman.it is psychopathic and abusive unless you are rich enough to be the exploiter class.
Never-mind the people that decide to end meals on wheels or take medicaid away are at minimum millionaires who will not suffer from lack of food or health care for the rest of their pampered sociopath lives.
People need to abandon "the system" that exploits and abuses most of us.
