I really liked your connection to "blaming the victim"; unfortunately you are very correct and many people who are born into circumstances they cannot help are simply passed off as having no chance at success by society and our government. INstead of trying to reach out and bring them higher, the US finds it easier to overlook this and pushes them down even more.

I actually also read Blaming the Victim and you're right, in many day to day situations we see the victims getting blamed even though they may be working twice as hard.

Our welfare doesn't help, but hinders those in the lower class because its almost like a tease, we give them a little but we are in actuality taking a lot more than giving. We are taking lower class peoples right to get a good education because they can't survive off of the money they get when in school, because they get more if they have a job. We take away the right to live in a better community because the amount of money they get can only afford housing in non-safe and nice areas. We take away the right to eat healthy and good food, because the money doesn't cover organic, gluten free, or healthier food options in general. And most importantly we take away opportunity; opportunity to grow and become something more than where we currently are. We are as Kristof puts it, "The land of Limitations".Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04781979185828049805noreply@blogger.com
