The issue here is that for those of us who are actually in the middle class a thousand bucks shouldn’t make us betray folks who need the help more than us.
IMO
I agree. I came from poverty. I know what it's like there. And voting against poverty stricken Americans for a little more on my plate is evil. But I'm not going to lie when I'm being stretched thin too. I climbed hard with my labor and some days I feel like the line between middle class and lower class is right on my heels. I can't help but feel angry that there's nothing being done.
