More on economic disparity and snobbyness
oops double post
just ranting. just hating mcmansions today and wishing that poor people had enough to eat and a sense of security and a solid roof over their heads no matter what...seems completely absurd that we can't manage that when 5% own 95% of the wealth. ok, done.
am i nuts? isn't 60K a year in CLEVELAND a lot?
so this lady was on the radio bitching about having to give at the holidays, how everyone makes her feel like crap about not giving (she does not donate to anything for any reason)-citing that she was POOR. she was too POOR to give even five dollars, that it was a real hit to HER family, etc...and the host was commiserating, saying "everyone does what they can" etc...until she reveals her salary as 60K a year. in cleveland ohio (believe me, i know there is a huge difference across our country. i would say that would equal at least double in NYC or LA). now, i don't say this is a fortune, or enough to retire, but isn't that enough to not consider yourself Poor? it rubbed me so the wrong way.
