Help from Friends and Family
Unless your friends and family are better off than yourself, and even if they are somewhat better off, there's usually a limit to the help they can provide.
How many millionaires do you know hanging out with the poor (except slumming at some club)?
The point of the article is that working people are in serious trouble and that wages in this country need to increase.
Too bad a country built on slave wages can't figure out a way to make capitalism work without slave wages, but we shouldn't be all that surprised. Turns out slavery doesn't have any racial bounds.
And not everybody wants to be an entrepreneur or own their business, much less get the start up money...and I bet there are many small business owners at these soup kitchens as well.
On another note, we must love and care for the children that are here, I understand that - but we need to realize that having multiple children is a luxury (not a right) in this country and in an economy like this and planned parenthood is more important than ever.
