The rich get help being richer, and the poor get made poorer. What, this is ridiculous!

How could anyone even earning $100,000 be getting financial assistance from the government?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Its a sad state of affairs, life is.

The rich get help being richer, and the poor get made poorer.

I was amazed to hear people saying that the cut off should be $200 000 or even $250 000. I think $150 000 is a very comfortable living. In fact, if we were able to have a household income of even a third of that, we'd consider ourselves financially well off. Even though we're a low income family, we know we're rich. Just last month I was meeting the poor of Haiti. Over there the people are literally eating dirt to try to get some kind of nutrition. With today being Compassion Day we decided to make our already small budget stretch even further so we can teach our children what's really important. We're giving one Haitian child a chance at life through Compassion Child Sponsorship. There's nothing like reaching out to others to get a better perspective on our own circumstances. We're so blessed to be living in Australia. I totally agree with you. I was amazed to hear people saying that the cut off should be $200 000 or even $250 000.
