Let’s talk about rich people
I was talking to a friend of mine on one of the instant messengers and she informed me that some guy she cuts hair for has propositioned her. He said she and her son could come live with him in his rich people 5 bedroom house, with his rich people pool, and rich people pool house and rich people butler, maid and cook, and he would pay her $1000.00 a week if she styled his hair every morning at 5:15.
What irks me is that people like me and my soon-to-be wife, who barely eat 9 meals a week, work 48-50 hours a week (and am physically killing ourselves), can’t get caught up on bills, and strive to make it in this world so that we’re not a disappointment to family and our peers, can barely keep up yet there are people who did one thing that totally changed the face of the world or didn’t work hardly at all and are rolling in the money, and refuse to give back to us. We’re the tax payers paying out our asses to provide for the rich. The rich want special attention from the police and state, and we’re the ones paying the salaries for them.
I’ll be the first to admit, I’ve always believed in the “get rich quick scheme”, but so far, nothing has come about from it. Why do we nearly kill ourselves when the rich are basking in the glory or our misery? I understand that there are people who are even worse off than I am. At least I have a house and do eat occasionally, and the like, but I don’t rub it in the faces of the lower class. I give donations to help out.
I wish I could meet someone who was willing to at least help us get out of debt, and just get our lives started on the right track! I don’t want to be rich; I want to be well off. I want to just be caught up on all our bills and past due payments and get a house that we can say we own, and stop renting! I want to be able to eat 3 square meals a day, and still be able to afford to go to a gym and stay in shape! I want to be able to have all the creature comforts of home and not feel ashamed to have family and friends come over for a visit! I want to own a reliable car!
I’ve made some financial mistakes in my life, there’s not denying that. But must I continue to pay for those mistakes for the rest of my life?! Where’s the breaks? Where’s the financial help that every president has talked about since JFK? (I think we know why Lee Harvey Oswald shot JFK now, don’t we!) I’m miserable. I’m sick! I’m tired of being at the lower part of the “financial food chain”! It often makes me wonder why we’re even here or why we’re struggling so hard to stay alive! It’s like being in a deep pool and the more you struggle to reach the top, the more you get sucked down and the air is slowly being taken from your body. People suffer, and nobody really cares. The President lives comfortably in his big white house, and says he wants to help the people of the U.S., but does nothing, the cabinets and the senates are living comfortably in their homes, the celebrities constantly bitch and complain about how bad things are for them, rich people take us for granted. There just isn’t any justice.
