That is different

I worked very hard last year and only made $10,000!! Jobs/money are differnt than earning grades (although it's true one can get shi++y, unfair teacher to affect that too).
But my point is that not all people who are poor are sitting around on their @sses. Some people have easy jobs that pay way too much and on top of that they get tax breaks and can hire accountants to find all the loopholes (which to me is morally wrong even though legal). And others work very hard for crappy wages! You all know what it's like right now. You pretty much have to take what you can get as far as a job ... especially the state I am in (Michigan).
Anyway, that is what this is about. Trying to even things up a bit. It is just as wrong to give the wealthy unfair advantages as it is to allow someone capaple of working sit around and do nothing.
Sure, it's going to take some doing to iron out this mess, but someone has to start somewhere!! I know I'm sick of not making enough money to survive on and still having to sqeeze in a catastrophic health care plan ($5,000 deductible) in case of a health emergency.
