There is only one reason this is happening: Our government is allowing it to happen. Poor people were never part of the American plan. It was always for rich landowners. And you have been tricked into believing that’s the fact of the matter.
You live in a Democracy. Yet you allow the ruling class to let your kids freeze and starve. Sooner or later, it all becomes your fault for letting it happen to you. I’m sorry to victim blame. But you are an abused sheep. In my less than ideal moments I sometimes just feel like you deserve what you get because you don’t fight for much of anything.
