The poor are not people who work less hard than the rich. The poor are not those who are less deserving than the rich. The poor are not those with less potential than the rich. The poor are simply those less visible than the rich to those who have the power to affect their lives.

I would say “always” after the nots & “almost always” in front of the simply. Then I would add, your dignity as a human is not based in your utility to the rich. Even lazy “undeserving” ppl have the right to healthcare & food, & the poor with “potential” deserve every chance

Exactly. I don’t get why there’s so much disdain for anyone who’s poor.

The “poor” are the people that Democrats pretend they will help to get elected and once they’re elected they kick them to the curb Under democratic socialism the rich will stay rich and the middle class will become poor
Replying to @marwilliamson
The poor are invisible to the rich. That's by choice, so they don't have to feel guilty about creating said poverty and other types of suffering with their wealth.

Does any person have less potential than any other person?
Replying to @marwilliamson
The poor mostly work. Capitalism favors capital, not labor.

To paraphrase @BeauTFC ... Beyond the rich's tax bracket do not live a lesser people.
