Go Fund Me
A 28-year-old man sent out a twitter plea looking for money to bury his 27-year-old wife, and the mother of his two children.
She died suddenly of an aneurysm and the man had no means to get her into the ground in a dignified manner. The man was looking to raise $5,000 and had secured $1,100.
I’ve seen past go-fund me accounts looking for ways to get medical help, go to school, or even eat.
And that’s the rub.
Jeff Bezos of Amazon makes more money, per minute, every minute of every day than his lowest paid employee.
UPS started a go-fund me for the driver who got shot while delivering packages for UPS!!
Americans are working harder every year.
Vacations are left on the table.
Men and women working 2 and 3 jobs, and using food stamps to survive.
Check the unemployment rates...
...people are willing to work.
Problem is, a lot of people aren’t being properly compensated for their time.
The Federal Minimum Wage is $7.25 an hour.
That’s embarrassing!
A coffee and a muffin during morning break will run you about $8.00!
“People need to pull themselves up by the bootstraps!”
Yeah, go to college!
That’ll cost you about a hundred grand in debt to get a bachelors.
We have the money for reasonable healthcare for all Americans...
...we can certainly make college affordable, but you know where the money went that could have made those pipe dreams come true?
Those funds went away...
...in a tax cut designed to help the wealthiest members of society.
That was supposed to ease the burden for everyone.
Didn’t.
And if you speak out about the income inequality and how the deck is stacked against the working man...
...they label you a socialist.
I don’t have any of the answers...
...just saw a plea from a man whose trying to bury his wife.
Made me sad that things like that happen...
...in the wealthiest nation on the face of the earth.
