Wealthiest Americans say the poor have it easy

[n2doc]

The nation's wealthiest think that the poor have it pretty easy.

A survey by the Pew Research Center found that 54% of those with the greatest financial security believe that "poor people today have it easy because they can get government benefits without doing anything in return."

Only 36% of the wealthiest say "poor people have hard lives because government benefits don't go far enough to help them live decently."

Those struggling the most financially believe that the poor need more help by more than a two-to-one margin.

Yet they never want to trade places with a poor person to have 'the easy life'…..

1. Yeah, deciding whether to eat, pay for medicine, or pay rent...

is undoubtedly a lark. Eating beans and rice for two weeks straight to stretch out those food stamps is wonderful too. Who needs all that complicated variety stuff?

This country is becoming gentrified. The rich, and many others, are living in a bubble.

3. Most of your plain old middle class believe they have it

easy on welfare and food stamps.

4. Hilarious and maddening and insufferable these fucks are.

The USA is the only nation where the majority of the have-too-damned-muches are actually jealous of these supposed perks and freebies its poor get. They'll never be satisfied until America's economy is almost completely zero-sum.
