(13,841 posts)My parents both had good "career" type degrees they worked their asses off for, but thanks to Ronald Reagan and the GOP's pushback on "Socialism" ("Hey, let's cut state services and the education budget in half - we don't need to educate brats whose parents can't afford private schools, and we certainly don't need so many public employees to ensure the state remains economically stable..." ), there were times when even two full time paychecks and a part-time paycheck didn't make it to the end of the month if they wanted to keep a roof - no matter how shoddy and slum-like - over our heads.
The assumptions and shame the "haves" too often force on the "have nots" just because they feel they're in need of an ego-boo or because they're in a pissy mood is outrageously hypocritical.
Especially since most of these smug bastards like to pretend they are good, moral people who "made it on their own without any help" and "it can't happen to us"...
Their own "Golden Rule" - the one stated time and time again by their self-proclaimed "Savior" and/or Creator (depending on which Monotheistic deity they claim to follow) - has made clear that there is an expectation of compassion and consideration to those less fortunate if they are expected to be forgiven for their own "trespasses". And they break their Golden Rules all the time.
Which isn't that surprising, because they practice what might be considered the ultimate Blasphemy to any Creator Deity. Instead of listening and acknowledge to being a part of the Creation - the Universe - that is everywhere all outside of them, it's obvious they only listen to the creation in their heads for their own aggrandizement and comfort.
