A lot of problems in America would get fixed if people stopped with this temporarily embarrassed millionaire mentality. People simp for the rich, because they somehow still believe they are on the verge of making it big themselves, so they want a system that will shower them with privilege in the future.
I understand where this is coming from. America used to be the land of opportunity, one of the few countries where you could come on a rickety boat from Cuba and become absurdly rich. I saw a documentary movie about this once. But key word: used to be.
If you’re poor now, there’s a 99.99999% chance you’re gonna die poor. And you’ll be lucky if you can maintain your level of poverty for the rest of your life instead of slipping further down the ladder.
Poor people need to start voting like they’re gonna stay poor for the rest of their lives. Because they are.
