The Problem with The Rich

The problem rich people fail to understand is that the average minimum wage worker even if you add a buck or two to make the job worth while is still dirt poor.

Additionally they are expected to do the job of two or three people while charged with other duties while placating irate idiot customers.

They are expected to use as much energy as possible to get the job done while maintaining the expectations of a clean clothes, healthy appearance, keep their home clean, prepare food, pay bills, possibly a car and even raise a family. All the while working hard at finding something better. Just every day living can be a job in itself.

Add to this the fact that certain people have health problems, disabilities and mental issues they must deal with daily. They must push themselves just to get up, work hard to pull themselves together and try to keep their problems from effecting their work.

So it should be expected that if a poor person wants to splurge on a $2 coffee they have earned. (In the case of those with mental health issues this an important part of recovering from work.)

It is not their fault that they are expected to give up a part of their short life for minimum wage for maximum effort or that the wealthy feel they are underserving of a decent living wage because they failed to do better. So why should they not reward themselves occasionally?

The question I want to ask of the rich is: Do you expect the poor to live frugally so you don’t have to pay them fairly?

And majority of the rich who have tried to make a poor persons buget fails terribly so who are they to advise us how we spend our money.

Rather then wasting money on telling us how to spend our money they could raise the wages of their lowest paid employees.

But that won’t happen because their is a general belief that the poor are “undeserving” and the rich have be “blessed” with good fortune.

We’re talking about the folks behind that room service menu where oatmeal is like 8 dollars a bowl. Bitch I could buy a box with 8 dollars. Several flavors, maybe…
