Ambulance took me to the hospital. $1,100 MRI bill. My parents asked states attorney to make the guy who was SEEN by multiple eye witnesses hitting me with brass knuckles pay the bill. The prosecutor was friends with them. “You don’t have a case.” He later became a judge.
That’s why I to this day have a lot of distrust for the rich. I never bought into the conservative lie about how great and virtuous rich people are. BUT. Rich people do create jobs, and that matters. Politically....There isn’t a place for people like us.
Later in life through hard work and a lot of luck - Never trust a “self-made” man or women who dismisses luck I ran in higher circles. Elite even. Seen both sides. This fan fiction about the virtuous rich is eye rolling at best.
What is the answer to poverty? I don’t know. I do know it’s getting worse in the U.S. When I go home I see the empty eyes of strong men. A lack of hope.
What do I mean by luck? When you’re poor, one accident could make a family homeless. There’s no real safety net. Cancer, a bad work accident....The lack of bad luck is as much an accident as catching a big break.
In many ways that’s why I was drawn to John Rawls’ political philosophy. A just society is one that eliminates or mitigates the role “bad luck” plays in our lives. https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/justice-bad-luck/ …
Growing up poor takes people in different directions. This is one of the most powerful essays on growing up poor.https://whatever.scalzi.com/2005/09/03/being-poor/ …
Speaking of growing up poor...When I saw that video of a wrestler with deads getting his hair cut, the racial angle....I saw a prick referee. White kids had to cut their hair, too. These are the indignities poor kids of all races face. The lack of power.
Tomorrow I will continue with Part 2, which focuses on solutions and a new path forward.
Yes there is. Jail. #MAGA3X
The rich people I know happen to be Christian and are AMAZING people!
Seize the means of production. End private property. Join the communist party Mike. #eattherich
that's why the fairest systems are the ones with the fewest rules. nothing to stop the spoiled kids from getting hit back.
I disagree. ppl can either be like bill gates who is rich but decides to use his money to help the world in a philanthropic away leaving aside politics or personal agenda or u can be like soros and try to control
Both of these men use their money for power and control. Gates may look nicer/better. He isn’t.
I'm not American but in many Western countries there are "Right" parties which are about Business & the Wealthy, & "Left" parties which have moved from being about poor Western people & Unions, to being about Minorities & Identity Politics. No Party represents poor & working poor
I worked for a family that were RICH. Lived on LIDO ISLE in Newport Beach. The CEO was a wonderful man - his son worked with all of us- partied with us after work. Came to my home in Redondo Beach. It depends on how you grow up! What you are taught.
I don't know of any famous conservative quote or book virtue-signaling for the rich. I've heard plenty quotes and lotsa books bout successful people bring virtuous and admirable--and lucky--from every political persuasion.
