DiaryOfAWorm: Blame the Poor


“This is all your fault. You bought
a house you could not afford.”

We blame poor people more than we blame rich people.
When a poor person steals a little money we deal with it harshly, perhaps prison time.
When a rich person steals millions, like those on Wall Street did, they are not even prosecuted.

When a poor woman works the system to get a little more for her children we are appalled.
When a rich man works the system to get a big reward we applaud.

When a poor person gets a small amount of money from State we call it Welfare.
When a rich person gets a tremendous tax break from the State we do not call it Welfare.

Our prisons and jails are full of the poor.
Justice is based on one’s wealth.

Even the middle class and poor can upset at the poor for taking money for the State.
But the middle class and poor ignore the rich for taking money for State.
Poor have a difficult time getting a good education.

But the rich get the best education money can buy.
Our health system is based on our ability to pay
So the rich get health care the poor do not.

We blame the poor for being poor,
We do not blame the rich for being rich.
The rich make money on money,
While the poor lose money on money.
