Define Middle Class

Definition of middle class is people willing to pay for things we rich people don't feel the obligation to pay for.

Did I mention our unwillingness to pay for things that benefit us will bite us in the ass? Yes, I forgot to mention that...because I was too busy with my money.

I'm in agreance with you. One way to justify taking something from someone is to make an argument that they don't deserve it. One way you wouldn't deserve what you have is if you got it by chance. This is why people generally care less if they lose something they found by chance, this idea of how much rightful ownership they have of it.

If people want to have an inkling of how reality plays out, the wealthy play off the ignorance of the poor. Who are ignorant due to worse learning conditions/opportunity as they grow up. They get the poor people to vote against themselves with catchy and straightforward slogans. I like the idea of being for the country, but unless you have a leadership you can faithfully trust, then people should vote in their best interest. The poor have the numbers to get what they want, they just have to have the knowledge, and motivation.

Some poor people are lazy, tax avoiding fools... most are not. Most realize the amount of work at McDonalds, even after taking out taxes, makes for a better, longer, more fulfilling life, stress free life. Than having to worry if you'll eat, hopping around trying to find places to sleep, relying on donation centers for sweatshirts and items, and walking around collecting cans. Do you think a poor person would choose to spend 5 hours collecting cans? Don't you think they'd make way more money (even after taxes) working for 5 hours at a entry level job.

I think the people that are like that either have mental disabilities, or are ignorant of their options and there is a disconnect between lines of employment and these people who are capable and would benefit the most from working there.

I'd like to see a Charity designed to deal with this problem, adn pool together all other charities that deal with the poor, all of their resources into one combined charity. Instead of charities overlapping in what they do, and having to each pay for the own set up to do things, have a complete program. Basic Education, Food, dress up clothing and transportation. They learn how to use the bus route get set up by the state with a year long pass, get clothing for their interviews, are trained and taught abuot the job they're applying for before they apply. So they know terms the gist of how it's set up. They gradually go through this program designed to ween them off goverment support and back into society in some form. On top of that, they'll promote talking and community building between all the poor people in the program to build those networking skills, and information sharing etc... etc... But I digress..
