God damn it....
What is wrong with this country that tens of millions of people think it's a bad thing to lend a helping hand to those in need.
And a lot of these same people believe that the have mores are paying far too much money.

the answer to this. Not only am I confused, I am also saddened by
the whole thing. Soon, very soon, there must be a breaking point to this
situation. There just has to be. If not, everything will crash, even for the top
money makers. Everyday I read of despair, I see it in the streets,
I experience it myself at times. What did happen? I remember a time when
it was unthinkable to allow people to be hungry, without a home, and no job
or hope of one. I'm not just beating up on Republicans, but as I remember
we started heading south during his administration, and we are now snowballing
down the path.. I do have deep despair about our future and what it holds. Our
President can only do so much, the rest is up to us, and the greedy ones. Most
days I just want to
So why is it they seem repulsed if the poor, sick and elderly are actually living? It's like they want to punish the have nots as if not having isn't punishment enough. During this time of year, especially while they gorge at their festive parties and manage to get huge bonus's(while others can barely get a paycheck) it has not gotten through to their selfish little selves that there are people suffering out there. These people are not jealous of what the wealthy have. They simply want to live a decent life. Where do they get off thinking people who are hungry want to live this way--think they are lazy and if they get something they will sit there waiting for handouts? If anything those who do little but warm their butts in cushy boardroom chairs are the ones who get hand outs--on the very backs of those who make minimal wage(you can't even call it minimum for so many). DO they really think parents enjoy seeing their kids hungry, wearing shoes and clothes that no longer fit because there is no money for new?
Yet here they are "ho ho ho ing",bragging what they have already spent for gifts this year having not one ounce of compassion for those who can't even imagine what having the security of a home with decorated tree and presents underneath. On top of this many are "religious". I often wonder when I go by many huge churches that stay vacant almost every day but Sunday, are these "houses" meant to help so many in need or are they used almost for show? I realize many do not have the capabilities of housing the homeless in any
capacity but I so seldom see them using it for a place to have a small clothes tree for the needy or a food pantry of some kind. Can they use them for a budget daycare for the minimum wage parents? There are so many needs out there but how many even look? It is a question I think about every day of the year but it always seems worse this time of year when it's cold and people are out there power shopping while others shiver in the cold simply wishing for a hot cup of coffee which often times, we the tax payers, are not even allowed to give them thanks to some selfish laws in so many cities across this country.
