<p>You know, you hear so many stories of rich people donating billions to charities, I think it’s bull. I’ve been poor all my life with just enough money to meet basic needs and never received anything from charities. Where do all the billions of dollars go? Education? Schools? Health? Hospitals? Sounds to me it’s simply the rich paying their taxes in different way. The governments get the money and the real poor, the bum with no life in that shabby apartment or that family of four in the rented house that’s nearly crumbling with no vehicle never get any help from rich strangers to get off their feet and therefore struggle all the time make ends meet. They can’t get a job because they don’t have an education. They can’t get an education because it takes money. They don’t have money because they don’t have job. It’s a vicious cycle. </p>
<p>Here in Canada, I only get $10,000 a year compared to the average Joe who gets $30,000 a year and rich people who get more than $100,000 a year. The disparity is too great. It wouldn’t hurt the rich guy making $100,000 a year to give $40,000 to four of the people making $10,000 a year now would it? The fact is the poor need at least $20,000 a year to make it. The poor need to a way to start enjoying life too. If the poor had more they would make good placements with their money, get an education, get a job and join the middle class. Instead you got rich people with so much money they don’t know what to do with it, except for expanding their empire of wealth and get richer and richer. It’s soo much easier for rich person to get richer when really a better way would be for the poor people to have an easy way to make a decent amount. </p>
<p>The problem with our society is that in order to make money you have to spend money. When there’s no money to start with, and worse, if you don’t have an education because your family was too poor to keep you happy in school forcing you to drop out, as in my case, then you have a problem starting out. It shouldn’t be that way. There should be a way to make education free but it’s not free. Education costs money. Governments would rather use the rich people’s not so hard earned money to build a stronger military, invest in business that are already making a decent amount and paying health care people (Doctors are the highest paid people in the world and yet here we are giving to lots of money for simply prescribing medications). Here in Canada we have the Sun card which pays all medical expenses. It takes another similar which should pay our education. That would really help people. Because once people have an education, then it’s so much easier find a job. </p>
<p>Yet governments don’t do that. It’s filled old wealthy people who don’t like the poor, complain because the they have pay taxes to them. They only care about their oil and gas prices, and the stock market…pathetic. Oil and gas prices…lol…Growing up my family never had a car and even today I still don’t have a vehicle. I laugh when they woory about that. C’mon, we should be more worried about the rising FOOD prices. Paying an average of $3.50 for a one person meal is just too expensive. Unless you eat ramon noodles, the rest of the food prices are so high. Some say, well, eat mac and cheese, it takes milk and butter too, hot dogs takes buns, so when you add up the costs of food it’s just too expensive. Rich people still don’t get it. Never will. </p>
<p>Really I don’t think anybody should earn more than $100,000 dollars a year. Anything more should be redistributed to the poor. It sickens me to hear rich people complain about at that suggestion.</p>
