HEALING THE ECONOMIC DIVIDE

Society has beem divided solely based on economic status for years! The, "HAVES" and the HAVE NOTS" have been separated and with that separation comes various sterotypes. If you're poor then you're worthless, lack positve work ethics, and waiting on the government for a hand out. However, if you are rich then you've got more power and can function properly status wise within society. However, as we've seen in recent times more money doesn't always equal "HALO" actvities. Wealth, (has been gained) illegally and as a result those people who've built their wealth on selfishness and lying will soon have to give an account for their activities.

These, (rich people), are able to provide $300,000 sweet 16 parties to spoiled, snot noise brats who could care less about forming positive relationships, while being viewed nation wide on MTV. These, are the population of people who are able to boost our economy yet some how their morals have been left undetected. However, you have a population of people ( majority, that live in the innercity) torn between paying for healthcare or eating every day that's being forgotten. Many, have to jump through hoops just to make ends meet. Should, there be a balance among the wealth in our world "YES". What, many don't understand is that Poverty is a generational curse that many of us didn't to be apart of.

For years, we've watched our mothers work 25 years at companies who treated them as just another ID number so when they got ready to retire they where with just a trophie with their names on them. See, many people who are of a better class feel that we as the poor population should be just grateful for what we have. Yes, to a certain degree that is true however there are many of us who don't see drugs to make ends meet, who had dreams of being our own bosses before the responsiblies of parenthood ext came into play, yet due to our class we arn't given non realistic hurtles that we have to travel just to catch up. We've, been subjected to the poorest of conditions within our innercities, our children have been so drugged that they end up loosing their souls, our young doves are dying by the masses, and we have politicians who are too busy shopping with million dollar budgets to take notice.

Give, us positve hard working families that don't do drugs or sell our bodies to create a better future for our children. We would spend the money wisely providing futures for our young doves! We want our kids to go to college, and we know on a MCDONALDS salary it's not going to happen. The brightest of ideas can be found within the streets of the inner city. The next mayor, business owner can been found on the pubiic transportation line. The wealth should be extended to those who really stand in need of it. Why make the true american dream so unattainable? Place us all, on a level playing field so we can advance the companies economic market together. How, can you expect a person to advance when they arn't given the proper resources to do so?
