(18,186 posts)has been seeing just how selfish most Americans are.
Those who make any six figures today want to whine and mewl and complain about being pinched.
Meanwhile, they absolutely turn their goddamned backs on people who live on the streets, who make sometimes in the four figures, who have zero health insurance, who are in a an honest-to-goodness life and death struggle.
To hear the privileged whine like they are starving Ethiopian children in the midst of so much REAL poverty and need and sorrow just makes me almost hate that certain class of human being. The hate stems from two realities:
1) These fortunate Americans should know better, yet they compare themselves to the truly poor for completely PERSONAL gain. When they get their tax break, their whatever, they shut the fuck up all of a sudden about what anyone else might need.
2) When you fuckers complain about how "hard it is" to make it on your six fucking figures, you have no goddamned sense of compassion or justice for those into whose gaping wounds you rub that copious salt.
Fuck off. Really.
( Not you, OP, but the six-figurites who want to pretend they're all just starving orphans )
