Why no one rarely ever mention the lower class people?

All you hear in the campaign is the middle income class people need help. Do you realize what is considered middle-income? I know far more people who income is below 50k who need help and they are well educated. I'm really scared for those that make minimum wage. What is your thought on this? I wrote about it on my blog.

The amount of lower class families is so much greater than those on Social Security, even though I agree that most of these families fall under this class, there are also working families, single mothers, single fathers etc. It is amazing and unnerving to know how such a large amount of people can go unnoticed.; ▶ Reply to This

The working class who make just enough to get by are rarely ever noticed by those above them. This is kind of like noticing how beautifully designed a building is without taking notice to the foundation that is sits on. We, the working, lower class, have to make it work for ourselves and not rely on anyone else to take notice. If we waited for someone to actually recognize how the lower class plays a major role, then we would be waiting for a miracle. It is a scary thought, but it is very real.; ▶ Reply to This

This class system is rate by the money one makes and not by the education, political views, and personal ideas of what success is.

What an education does is teach us to get a job and stay there. This is not saying education is bad, but I see, first hand, the assumption that every job one moves to must pay you more money, benefits, and perks. This is a pipe dream, except for only the gifted few who understand the laws of money. Learning institutions need to add to their agenda, a plan to teach Common Sense finance and entrepreneurship to everyone walking out of High School and College. Control the banks who laden young student with credit cards at a min of $800 or more to start.

While the Right and Left battle it out for control of the White House, there are many, from all the classes who are looking at opportunities to grow financially, spiritually, and ethically. Those are the future successes, the risk takers.

We are too accustomed to using our credit cards to buy stuff that does not really belong to us. After that stuff is gone, we are still paying for it with interest for years. I have met people at minimum age who did struggle, but who where happy, had family unity, and watched what they spent when stretching that hard earned dollar, when at the same time watching families from high incomes, spend carelessly with the assumption that this will last forever.

The middle class need to curb spending practices and stay away from emotional investments. Yes I was there too, and have learned these valuable lessons the hard way, but I did not cry to get a bail out, I worked my way back up to my middle class status knowing very well that I need to always be prepared for hard times and never let my ego dictate my finances.

I kind of miss the hard times a bit, it brought my wife and I so much closer, like when we first met 32 years ago, when our 1st bedroom set was $79 dollars and this young Marine carried each piece on his back to our 1st basement apartment in Queens NY; ▶ Reply to This

I think that is a very old problem.

The start condition for the lower class is ourself "identification".
About fifteen years ago there was a great economical crisis in Brazil.
In Sao Paulo, thousend qualifying people are suddently without good jobs... they are working for "nothing"... inflation, unemployement...

At these time there was a public recruiter for "street cleaners". The requiriments are very low. Practically, no learnings are needed for that job.

I was astonish. 4 engenier, with University Certificate are atracted to that job...

I start to thing, what kind of people invest 14 Years to study... and then, after such investing, are unable to survive with these knownledge?

All people must surviving... but, in a country without houses for all people... engeniers with no job? What kind of engeniers?

Te situation:

The real crisis is not about poor people... I think that the problem still at school. People aren´t prepared to do what they are the best... only winners surviving.

When we understand that we must create better winner conditions, we will create a better humanity...

It's tragic, but it's real. The real goodest are ever employed... but to be good, is also needed to be "comunicative", good self esteemed. People who believes they are poor, still ever and ever, more poor. Also, who connect "poor thinking" like a plage, can attract the plage... that way, rich people "hate" poor people thinking.

The greeks are right:

What we think is what we become to be.

You are what You believe... believe in fortune... learn the life strategy, and You will become rich.

Neither... when the most people think in bad things... we prepare a desaster. Thinking is a power. To erradicate bad things, don't think about the problem, only about the solution.

Recently, I moved to a touristic place, here in Brazil. I discover the same problem... poor people exploring good peole... the tourists. The poor don't have the interest to grown up... they have money... only the money... when in the future, the tourists will desapeare... the poor will be what ever they are. Why we cant see that?

We are the Heroes about our lifes... when even we don´t believe that we are able to win, who will? About poor people... ask Ophra. She takes the right decision.

But that still a problem, how many Ophras we have? Why? Aren't we all the same human race?

Take a decision, right now. Create Your powerfull thinking... and be connected with good things. Export hope...be a Heroe for Yourself! ... And never be "connected" with the loosers thinking... thats a very dangerous plage...
