TL;DR: Americans now need to make $120K a year to afford a typical middle-class life and qualify to purchase a home. Minimum.

    Wanting other people to have what you have, without your struggle, is an opinion we need more of.

      Especially when we have a society with a huge number of people who think that if you’re poor, you deserve it.

        What gets me is, a lot of the POOR people say that about POOR people.

          We live in the most effectively propagandized society ever created. It hasn’t been until more recently that it’s started to slip. A lot of folks still believe in the old lies and believe that everything would work if we just got rid of the immigrants, Jews, and corrupt politicians. Still I think more people are waking up to the reality that this system is broken not the people in it.
