This is so fucked up!

Why are some lives more important than others?.. Poor being turned away from healthcare funded by Medicade. Meals on Wheels devastated from cuts.. Children school lunch program’s cut....
WTF is wrong with this Country?

I guess it is “If it don’t effect me, who gives a shit”.

but it's not going to last. People are sick of being squeezed to death between the inflation they lie about and wages that have gone down.

Something has to give, will give quickly, and will result in violence.

Congress only does the right thing when they're more frightened of their constituents than they are of the bankers.

That's what it is. Sadly, but truly. We are hanging on by the fingernails while the "I've got mine" crowd screw us.

7. Abuse

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.

I remember when, as I'm you do also, when half the point to having a good idea was to share it and see if it caught on. Now, people expect to have one idea and get paid for it for the rest of their lives.

...with zero support for it.

They want a good percent out there to be a visible horror show to keep the rest of America grateful that they are allowed to live.
