    I just don’t get why people choose to be poor. It seems like a difficult way to live. Why don’t these people just get some more money?

      Just have to pull yourself up by the bootstraps and take a 5-6 figure loan from your parents. C’mon people

          😔 If only the government would stick to handouts for billionaires instead of helping people who need it, we could finally take all of social security and put it into the hands of billionaires who pay people to play video games for them because they have an inferiority complex

      If they weren’t poor, people like Bezos wouldn’t have to pay so much in taxes and he could finally get that new jet and 5th vacation beach house he’s been wanting, even though that’s not really how income works for rich people. Come on poors! Why don’t you want Jeff to get another vacation home??? What else would you want to read about waiting at the checkout stand? “We solved child poverty”? BO-RING!
