Backwards

I am in awe of the amount of people lately who protect the rich and completely dump on the poor.  Are we in bizzaro land?  Did the world turn upside down and I just not realize it?  Time and time again I see people rail on the poor, just steam roll over them, describing them as the lowest of the low because they just so happen to not have monetary wealth.  Did you know... some people...choose to be poor?  According to half of the blow hards around my area, its totally true.  People choose to just sit and be poor and unhappy because all they had to do if they REALLY wanted to was to get up and pull up their bootstraps and get better jobs.
Yea... ok...NO
I think especially, after the last few years with Wall Street and the corruption therein, we may want to be a bit mad at the rich in this country?  While poor people don't have food, homes, electricity, and savings... while they cannot go to the doctor, get medication, and die... rich men are getting government bail outs and making more money.


Something is wrong here and I for one... am confused.
