Because, as we all know, government, banks, and all rich people have excellent morals, ethics, and social skills deserving of their fat slice of pie, right?

If you've ever been truly poor with poor parents and family and/or lived in a classist (or racist) community like I grew up in, you know your economic woes don't have such an easy answer, you can still avoid every last thing on that list and end life in a ditch or die early from inadequate healthcare or societal care.

This is the sad but very real truth.
