Recently in the News its as if there is an attack on The Poor, it’s
everywhere. I think it is unwarranted much of the wealth that the
Middle Classes have, they have inherited from their grand parents
who no doubt were Landowners and Landowners were inevitably
Slave owners. Whenever the poor try to accumulate wealth it as if
obstacles are put in the way.
The first major obstacle are Taxes there are loopholes and Tax
avoidance, One comes with a hefty sentence the other one doesn't.
It would seem the Middle Classes understand taxes particulary
inheritance tax. That's the tax imposed on your children when you
die leaving an estate worth more than 250,000.
what it is like in other sectors. They have a wonderful
apprenticeship scheme (try applying I dare you). Then they have a
wonderful Post

With Poor education, poor housing, (Ghetto type living) lack of
opportunities it is inevitable that the Poor stay Poor. Where I
work the jobs seem to be saved for the Son and Daughters of
Employees. I work within the Public Sector so I dread to think
apprenticeship scheme (try applying I dare you). Then they have a
wonderful Post
Grad scheme darn if only you got 2.1.....No comment, this is just
used to reduce the potential amount of people applying for these
roles.
The Poor are made to feel that all the problems are down to the
fact that they are Poor. With wealth comes power, freedom and a
political voice. The Poor are kept busy with signing on and
attending interviews for jobs that have already been filled. I

#64 Poor Uprising
How did I get here
With my poor housing
Poor education
Poor nutrition
Poor experience
Poor etiquette
How did I get here?
When there nowhere else to go
Trying to get out of this poor claw
I am fed up of being poor
I don't want to be poor any more
Caught in this poverty trap
No getting out, so that's that
The poor tried uprising
The Government dealt with that
Yes that's what the riots were about
The way they dealt with them was surprising
Harsh sentences banged up to rights
No short stay overnight
Criminals were made
Now making them criminals, is that really the way?
No one wants to employ a criminal
Keeping them oppressed with criminal ties
If you were poor wouldn't you up-rise ?
Or would you sit back and pretend you never knew
That how you got here wasn't completely down to you
