I'll never understand people who make poor people out to be villainous, capitalism depends on most people being poor

Basically, if people where not poor, they would not do the shit jobs. If people didn't do the shit jobs, then the rich would have to pay more to get them done, and the people would not be poor anymore.

Thing is people want to eat, have a place to live etc, so they will do the shit jobs for hardly any money, and so they stay poor.

And honestly even if most americans said screw this and refused to do those jobs, the rich would just get people from other countries to do them probably, so it wouldn't really fix anything.

But yeah, not everyone can be rich, over 50% of the jobs in this country pay less then $15 an hour, or low enough to be considered "poor" if you work it full time. That pretty much has to stay that way for society to work the way it does right now and the rich to continue to enjoy their current lifestyles and opportunities.

So when the rich complain about the poor, it's like complaining about your slaves not being happy enough about being slaves.
