(1,957 posts)They cannot fathom any idea of helping those who do not have what they have. In their warped minds they believe every dime they have they earned. They do not remember the money they inherited, the jobs "given" to them that gave them a huge start. They feel if you are born poor--you deserve it. If you are poor, out of work, homeless you should be punished for your bad investments, lack of financial vision. It must make them feel superior as they bad mouth most of the population while they stuff themselves at the country club. They don't even realize that the work they do on Capitol Hill(and there is very little of it these days) makes life more difficult for everyone who is down and out. Every day they create bills that eliminate the very help those of us who are at the bottom(or damn close)--the working poor, the disabled, the seniors-the list goes on. They somehow feel that we should be able to do without money,food or a space to live on. Every dime we get, they feel is a dollar being ripped from their bulging pockets. They claim we are envious of what they have and want to continue stealing from them at an alarming rate. If we are so wealthy how many of us can they find have investment accounts in the Bahamas? How many of us can they find having more then one home(many don't even have one). How many have more then one car(or just one that actually runs). Sadly many of us have only a bike or a wheel chair as our rolling stock. Sadly many would love to actually live in a space no larger then the average garage. Sadly most of us would love to have enough "investments" to be able to feed our families,pay the utilities and keep a roof over our head. Sadly I don't see any change anytime soon since the very people who can give us change--give us some hope are the very ones who refuse to do so.
