+5People usually have an idea of what constitutes poverty based on their personal expieriences. There have been times in my life when I haven't had enough money for food or electricity but I've never been homeless, I was hungry, but not starving to death, cold, but not dying of hypothermia. Although I was in a bad situation I was still grateful to have a roof over my head. Then there are some people who think that not having enough money to buy a new pair of shoes or an ipad makes them poor because they've never had to go without anything at all before. I don't think you can really understand what it feels like to go without the things that most people take for granted until you've had to.
Think about that, as all you liars who claim to be rich, are sinking in unpayable debt, that you created, and trying to make poor people pay.
Unless you have been in the situation where you have to decide if you are going to feed your children or pay the bills because you simply do not have the money to do both then you do not know what real worry is.
Being poor has its limitations and it can be tough, I suppose if you have experienced tough times you will have more insight into how being poor effects people.
What angers me right now is how the poor are somehow deemed less worthy because they are poor. It is insulting how some very wealthy and powerful people dismiss others as lazy and less worthy because they are out of work or struggling. In a time when a lot of people are struggling it makes no sense to kick people when they are down.
Right now in the UK we keep hearing how the poor are lazy and undeserving. Some poltiicians not only view poor people less worthy but also people who work in other professions. We seem to be seeing a class war and it is nauseating.
