I Am Saddened By Ignorance

I just don't get people who are oblivious to the struggles of the working poor in America. It baffles me, really. Although I'm not in poverty, I am considered to be in the "lower middle class"/"working class" in my area. There's nothing worse than seeing people calling all poor people "lazy", when your parents work full-time, with one of them considering getting a second job, and still struggle to support a family of four.

I always feel bad for less fortunate people. I'd want to help a lot of things. But unfortunately I can't, even though my heart is so big. I especially feel bad for them when poor/homeless people end up working for someone, a factory, or a company that may just want to use them. There's a lot more slavery (that's not BDSM or kinky) in the world then most people think. I don't like how close minded a person can be with all of this kind of stuff going on and not give a care. I don't even understand either.
