"My idea worked under the assumption that those who hold the majority of stolen wealth in this country actually give a damn about other people. But the harsh reality is, that’s just not true." THIS.
Yup. You are so right that poverty is MANUFACTURED.
My parents bought a house in 1970 in NY for $30K when my dad made $18K/Year without a college degree. But I have a graduate degree, a nice house in my neighborhood costs on average $350K, and I am CERTAINLY not making the equivalent of $210K/year. And this is just ONE example. The rich keep on taking and the poor keep getting more poor. WTF do they want people to do??? It doesn't matter HOW hard you work, because they keep moving the goal posts.
But, I am a part of Albuquerque SURJ (Standing up for Racial Justice) that organized for Native Land Tax...so that is a start, but shit...sometimes I just want to shoot bloody paint balls at all the asshole politicians, then throw them in the lion enclosure at the zoo. This would be a good place to start for reparations. But no - they set it up so that racism continues because they make it non-white people's fault that middle-class white people are also diving into poverty, when it's THEIR DAMN FAULT EVERYONE CAN'T AFFORD GROCERIES ANYMORE.
But I'm sure you don't need me to rant, because you got the market on that. I'll watch the You Tube and let you know if I have any ideas besides poisoning their soup. :)
Just upgraded. No reply needed, just in hope you get some rest.
Thank you for upgrading! I'm working on the rest, I appreciate that.
