The Down and Out

(in the United States)
This site is about the things that affect the people on the lower rungs of the economic ladder. Taxes, welfare, credit availability, etc.

Welfare & Taxes Everyone complains about the need for welfare, welfare abuse, and the easy availability of welfare - So what are YOU doing about it? Taxes are becoming so ridiculous that it perpetuates welfare ...... no one can afford taxes, especially the poor. And when more people get put on welfare, how do we pay for it? We raise taxes - now even more people can't afford the taxes and have to go on welfare, so how do we pay for the increased number of people on welfare - we raise taxes, ad infinitum. What a SCAM! Everything is taxed - |
Credit The world, not only the United States is obsessed with credit cards and check cards. Here (in the US) they want your credit card numbers for verification of your identity, but of course most of the poor cannot get a card and if they do get a card they can't afford the exorbitant interest rates. So in effect, they are a non-person here in the US. |
Employment Companies discriminate against poor people. How does a poor person have to get to and from work .... many don't own and can't afford a car, so they have to take public transportation. But what if their city doesn't provide decent public transportation? There are a lot of jobs that require you to be there BEFORE public transportation begins, or they have to work until AFTER public transportation ends. Many companies check your credit worthiness - what a crock!
