“Do You Want to Chip In?”

There are jugs at every counter in every business that is looking for loose change or donations.

Usually there’s a disease or affliction attached for the hand out, and I’m sure that if everyone rounded up on every transaction there would be a healthy amount going somewhere.

It aggravates me and I’m not sure if it should.

Wal-Mart, for instance, racks in record profits every quarter and they ask for more money.

If there’s a cashier there it is a little more irritating when she gives you the look like:

“You don’t want to help the kids?”

It’s truly embarrassing to live in a nation where getting sick can be a death sentence to a family bank account.

Nowhere else on this planet do people go bankrupt because they break their leg and need care.

“Go fund me” requests go around on social media and damn if it’s not disheartening to know that care is denied because people don’t have enough money.

Even worse are the people on the streets, living in their shoes.

Now, I bring this all up because, it’s gonna’ get a lot worse.

They’re talking millions being kicked off their healthcare.

The jugs looking for help are going to be everywhere!

But hey…

…at least the wealthy can get bigger yachts.

What a county.
