Me and my family are all educated, but poor. The rich that refer to us as 'common' think that it is our fault that we are poor, that we are uneducated, are not aware of what is happening, or that we are taking advantage of the government.

Well I have to say that it isn't our fault, we aren't stupid, we are aware of what is going on, and we are not taking advantage of anyone.

I am one of the common people. And not only am I aware of what's happening, I am suffering firsthand of what's happening.
