Reply #204: In a Democratic group

I would expect there to be more empathy for individuals working their butts off for survival wages of 16-20k. But I rarely see it.

Those folks often have the added experience of seeing their credit rating shot to hell because of the radical desire to, maybe once, buy clothes from someplace other than K-mart, or buy a bed to sleep on, or pay the phone bill. As a result they pay the rest of their lives and probably will never actually own a home.

But alas you'll find everywhere people who are complacent with the notion that low wage earners are just meant to live that way, they are not a part of the manifest destiny crowd to which high paid pity mongers belong.
