I'm a caretaker. I also am highly educated, with a master's in technology, another in education, a legal background, and a resume that people often don't believe is true because I'm Brown-skinned and female. (hint: my credentials are real) My family is on one of those government programs for the sick, disabled and elderly. It is a complete nightmare with constant threats of termination and language and processes that are so complicated, it's almost impossible to navigate through it all. It is helpful that someone, anyone understands burdens like these that are silently shared by so many. Excellent article. Well presented. Thank you

The goober rich don't want to pay taxes. Which means they don't want to help fund our military, roads & bridges, airports, railways, waterways, emergency management and a host of other government programs designed to support the greater good. Including them. But when their businesses fail and they need a bailout, or they need subsidies and rebates to bolster their profit margins and upper management and CEO bonuses it's the taxpayers to the rescue!

And they have the nerve to claim poor people are freeloaders and moochers.
