all of those people have ties to each other in some way.
Best example of it is the establishment reaction to trump and sanders they rallied the troops around to stop them. They think they killed off sanders, I noticed he can't get a minute on tv anymore.
The Sad truth is the rich and politically powerful do not get prosecuted like average citizens. Skin color doesn't matter.
Everyone in power says they love the poor but they do their best to keep people poor then get prosecutions when they are old enough to fill a jail cell.
Where I live it's a lot of poor white and poor Indian s of various tribes. We get all this talk about education and bettering ourselves. That's well and good but then once the school kids hit the age where they can be dumped from the school system into the legal and law system they start chewing up lives to feed the machine.
Unless they can afford higher education or join the military the are stuck at the low rung of life.
Personally I've seen people I know from k 12 , decent people just poor as the rest or us. Thinking back I realize so many had their lives ruined at a young age by the drug war and other bs. One guy I knew but hadn't really had contact with when out of the third grade was prosecuted under drug law for being a dealer, from what I remember of him he wouldn't have a clue how to do it, years later it turns out he was arrested and prosecuted because a informant and real life dealer finger this kid. When lawyer went over his statements after the damage was done they found out his description didn't match and the things he testified about also didn't match the facts in retrospect, but that didn't matter now that poor kid was a easy target for the system. Not out of malice but incompetence. They ruined the life of that kid by the way, he tried to escape, made it for awhile plenty of place to hide around here (famous old west outlaws still have undiscovered hideouts here) anyway they caught him months later cause the tapped his gf phone. He might have be innocent of the original charged guilty of nothing more the minor possession, but when he escaped that set in motion a ton of s**t all based on lies the prosecutor and cops found convenient in the fight on the war on drugs.
I get pissed when these politician talk so righteously about children and the school system. They care until the kids are no loner in elementary school or middle. Most of these kid will never have the grades for scholarships and will never make enough to afford height education . Not that it guarantees anything even if they get a degree.
I'm so pissed hearing about the billions in aid the USA sends abroad, then the $20k-40k each illegal immigrant the Feds are sheltering.
One family here already legally or not could greatly Benefit from even a small helping handout. But they just as forgotten out here as the inner city .
Btw if any one wants to see real poverty, true below third world in a war zone poverty take a trip to a Indian reservation drive around past the tourist trap and maybe casino to see how they really live then come back and tell me it is fine and we should worry about illegal citizens of another country or just those countries people in DC think are pitiable, instead of all the people all ready here, some from before the d**n mayflower.
Sorry for the rant guess I should leave it to the pros like DB. Thinking about a lot of things this fourth holiday. All the political BS hasn't helped my frame of mind.
I've come down to the idea if you want to truly help people , k12 schools are nice, even free university and vo tech, but IMO to keep people out of poverty and in a decent living wage as a country we need to concentrate on jobs, not let the market decide jobs just jobs doing anything including city and Fed job where unskilled, unqualified and over qualified can get a job they can live on no matter what.
Kind of that teach a man to fish parable, imho if you teach a man to fish we should make sure the pond stayed stocked. Other wise you wanted his time by teaching him a soon to be useless trade.
