Heh. I guess it's just our high standards. We don't fit into that welfare/heroin/mental illness bracket, we MUST be the problem.
Are you implying that people in lower socioeconmic statuses have those issues?
Because they are the causes of all problems in society, I live in a poor family and we don't want to be wealthy. Maybe that's why you considered us as your problem?
I understand and sympathize with you, it must be very hard to be judged just because you don't have a lot of money. The best you can do is try to educate people that poor people are not a societal problem instead of attacking them.
