Because people believe it is and they believe they should be catered to.

because it is that simple.

be rich or forever be poor.

this is the system we have setup and the system that we worship.

Tell that to the people who make 150K and spend 200K a year.

Hint: they dont’ give a shit what you say.

There are peple who are genuinly struggling.

Then there are those who choose to spend 10-20K on vacations every year and ‘feel’ they are struggling.

And these latter people will forever tell you how they are living ‘paycheck to paycheck’ and talk your ear off about how theri struggles are more genuine and ‘real’ than people who are actually poor.

the areas where most people live, however, do.

nobody wants to live in trailer park in Mobile, AL.

No, they genuinely think they are struggling. Rich people don’t think they are rich, because there is someone who makes more, and they are rich. The 10% thinks they are struggling because they aren’t the 1%. The 1% thinks they are struggling because they aren’t the .1% and so on and so on.

I met a doctor once who thought that she was being ‘struggling’ by only making 450K/yr and she thought she deserved 550k/yr. She was 100% genuine.

I make 3x median income. and all i ever hear is how ‘poor’ i am from my friends/peers. Because do then ‘poor’ is anything less than 250K/year w/ multiple family properties to vacation and stuff.

Not even.

All you really need is wealthy parents. That way you never have to have any debt and get exploited by the credit system and can live your life glib and clueless and wondering why other people are so lazy and poor and didn’t work hard like you.
