We all need to listen to this. Very profound.
"It seems like we're hated. We're good people, we're just poor. We're not bad people just because we're poor but we get treated that way. I don't understand what happened to America," -Mondella Brown tells @JordanChariton on their uninhabitable living conditions in West Virginia

These are the ppl gonna get audited by Joe's 87K Gestapo IRS agents for "undeclared income," selling their vegetables or car parts or doing handywork advertised in the church bulletin. Joe & Demos' undeclared war against middle-class business-owners; poor, White "ultra-MAGA's"

"What happened to America?" ... the GOP got the white poor to hate and blame the black poor, and vote for Republicans. Hey, it worked. Solution, vote D across the board until your life is better. Or vote R and find out how much worse it can get.

What is the definition of poor? They arent hungry from what I could tell. They can buy cigarettes which requires a fair amount of disposable income. They have housing, furniture. They probably have cell phones and TVs. Id call it less rich. Perspective??

This goes deeper than just politics. One has to break through the cycle and no one else can do that except yourself.

What most people don’t have in their purview & fail to understand is, this is the reality for so many people in #Appalachia & around the country. When @Fwd_Party says one of our goals is “Thriving Communities” this is who I think of, because this is who I see everyday. @FWD_WV
