Thanks for speaking up! I am tired of being afraid that millions of people will be made homeless at the beginning of each month, while our elected 'representatives' take extended breaks, eat ice cream, play politics, etc.

I agree with your tweet which is remarkable. So who are you voting for?
Yes, and the rich got a lot more than the poor and working class out of a catastrophic pandemic. The rich got richer, the poor got nothing....not even enough to pay rent and an electric bill. Was this, is this all part of an elaborate scheme by this administration? $$$$, greed!

Same with words like 'expat' and 'immigrant'. They mean the same thing but used to describe different socio-economic groups.

They're givin it to the poor alright, but I wouldn't call it a hand out.

"The problem is that we all too often have socialism for the rich and rugged free enterprise capitalism for the poor. That’s the problem." -- "The Minister to the Valley" delivered by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. on February 23, 1968.
Only 1 library held the alleged source material for this amazing MLK quote. The kind people at Emory have confirmed that they are his words.
