Isn't it ironic that

[Tris]

Let's face it, being poor sucks. Being poor means you can't get the credentials that people wan to see. Being poor means you're automatically stamped with ever imaginable derogatory label. Being poor means you have no power, because government doesn't give a rat's ass. Being poor means that nobody wants to associate with you because: 1) They're afraid they'll catach it, and 2) because you don't have power, you don't ahve anything that they want. As somebody who hasn't known anything else but being in the lower end of the economic spectrum, I can authoritatively say it sucks.

BTW, for those wondering... the bitterness intensified circa 1999 ... before that it was more along the lines of cynicism:P

I did get a chuckle out of seeing the cost of insuring your government bonds more than triple. Is Uncle Sam headed to the poor house?:P
