Communism is a terrible system which is responsible for the state-murders of 100 million people from China to Russia to just wherever it is implemented.
So I am not saying there is anything good about it. It is about the govt having all power and the people having virtually none.
However, I've known a lot of downtrodden people who feel hopeless about getting anywhere in life, economically. They usually have not just one problem but many. I've known a few low-income people who have low self esteem so they don't bother looking for a better paying job and etc.. Most of those people that seem to have so many problems they can't solve have had very poor family situations, were rejected or whatever.
And like I say elsewhere, I just don't understand how the govt can find money for the most godawful things, but somehow, there is never enough money to build low income housing for people who are in low-paying jobs or worse, can't even find a job.
It seems like you have to be buddies with some politician or someone like that in order to get any money sent your way. Then you look at people like Pelosi, making money, apparently, on insider trading which is supposed to be illegal, but big wig democrats always get a pass when it comes to the law and being held accountable. I know a poor person, however, who never "gets away" with the slightest infraction of any rule at the shelter he stays in.
why are Americans OK or somewhat OK with Congress members earning massive bucks even though they are corrupt, and yet they don't want to help the homeless who may be obeying all laws? I say TERM limits and no insider trading. Senator Hawley has a bill that would end this. I hope it passes.. but knowing how things go, maybe it won't.
