(39,215 posts)those 54% to send me an application for a job. I want to fill it out for my daughter. She is an adult with a mental age of 1 year and a half. She is in a wheel chair and needs total care 24/7 364 days a year. She cannot follow directions or talk. She has serious medical problems and cannot set up straight in her wheel chair. She will need a one-to-one hands on assistant.
NOW mr. rich guy where is that job? In fact you can find me one of them also because I am poor because I took care of her for 45 years and could only work low-income jobs part time jobs because she needed care. I often took her along to work when I cleaned someone's home. I was a PCA before they had them.
Not everyone who is poor is this disabled but most have a good reason why they are poor. I am not saying that there are not some who are what I would call listless and seem to be able to work but you know you have to have someone who WANTS to hire them.
As to easy. Not having enough money to eat is not easy - especially if your children are hungry. Not having enough money to heat your home when it is below zero is not easy - especially if your children are cold and their feet have chilblains. It is not easy to be homeless - especially if your children are homeless with you. In fact there is nothing easy about being poor.
I do not know what else to say. I am so angry. Easy. Bulls--t.
