Today is the first day of the rest of your life. Ask yourself how you want to live it. Do you want to isolate yourself from all the pain in the world and ignore that others sometimes, though no fault of their own, have fallen on bad times? I guess for some it would be much easier to do that.
Some choose to place the blame squarely on the disadvantaged. After all, this is the land of opportunity where one only has to pursue their goals to be successful. But today's job market has changed, a person could, at one time, find a job overnight and never worry about being unemployed.
Those days have disappeared, and the unemployed are taking the blame for their own lack of jobs. Who are the ones pinning the blame on them? The rich 1% sitting in their ivory towers counting their money and looking down on the lazy 99%.
They are being called lazy because they are the middle class ..... the people who work with their hands ..... the ones who do manual labor ...... those who were satisfied with not taking more than their share and doing without if necessary.
It is easy for the advantaged to look down on those beneath them. After all, they are not anything like those scum and low life's who are forming mobs and marching in the streets. They are blessed and have the resources to live in comfort. Why should they have any feelings or concerns?
They used the system to raise above the masses and can now look down at them with disdain. They have every right to lord it over the 99% because they are entitled to it by virtue of their position in life. Let the people eat cake. They should be thankful the 1% allow them that.
