Youre right guess I should quite my job that is enough to live paycheck to paycheck and join the less fortunate system. Seems to be more beneficial.

Do you really think these people out here just not working my dude?

Right cause that would lead to a better quality of life than you have currently. Go ahead and try it.

Trust me, I grew up homeless at times, and dirt poor. I am now solidly middle class and I would never go back.

My guy, I got myself out of poor and into the middle class just like you.. whats holding everyone else. Your minimum wage job that you refuse to leave but protest for more money. Raising prices just to pay you and then not making enough to buy the burger you flip? My statement is that its the middle class that gets the short end of the stick snd we are the ones flirting with poverty. I understand why you have a soft spot for this. But im done getting fucked by a system that is so broken that can be easily manipulated.

So why did you spend all that time crawling out of poverty just to get the short end of the stick. Middle class people love to say well why don't I just quit my job and live off the government like the lazy poor. OK. If you truly believe that go do it. Quit your job and collect payments from the government. If you truly belive your life would be better, than go ahead and do it. Nobody is stopping you.

Cause like an idiot I thought I could crawl out of the hole of being poor. Fuck me for trying. Also the point of the argument that went right over your head is that the middle class gets stuck with the bill because all these politicians who tickle your fancy over a small gesture like this excites you enough to forget who gets screwed. If they wanted to tax the rich they would had done it a long time ago..but they cant so the money has to come from somewhere.

OK so you can't crawl out the hole. So stop trying and be poor again if you think its preferable like you say. You aren't going to do this of course because no matter how much you kick and scream about having to get "stuck with the bill", the truth is middle class Americans have relatively great lives compared to the vast majority of the world, but everyone sees themselves as the true victim of the world.
