Everyone always complains about the top 1% without realizing that on a day-to-day basis, it's actually the bottom 1% that are oppressing you more. The bottom 1% are the reason why you lock your doors and feel unsafe when you go outside. They're committing the majority of the violent crimes. The bottom 1% are the ones that require the most federal aid, which makes your taxes go up. The bottom 1% are the ones that exploit everyday systems, making it so much less convenient for you. That deodorant at your local convenience store is locked up because the bottom 1% are stealing it. If there is a line where there normally shouldn't be a line, chances are, a from the bottom 1% is causing some type of ruckus. In general, society has to cater towards the bottom 1% because they're the ones that are holding the rest of us back. If something is Kafkaesque or feels like it takes an unreasonable amount of time just to get to a simple solution, chances are it's because of them. And I'm not saying that we should show apathy or hatred towards the poor. On the contrary, I think that we should show them love and sympathy. The problem is that everyone has the courage to criticize the rich, and I'm not saying that's without reason, but it's the trend. Everyone's doing it. And no one has the courage to criticize the poor because that requires nuance and critical thinking, but most importantly, you look like the bad guy. And I'm not bootlicking the rich. I acknowledge that they're also oppressive. They have way too much political power, especially with big corporations. And just like poor people, they exploit systems and they raise our taxes. It's just that we blame 100% of our problems on rich people, but on a day-to-day basis, it's the poor people that are giving us headaches.
>> You know what? I'm going to just be honest with you. I 1,000% agree with them. And let me qualify why I agree with them. Because first of all, people are going to hear what they want to hear. So, they're only going to hear part of the conversation that they want to hear. And so, I wouldn't, I wouldn't even, I wouldn't be surprised if they only heard the first 30 to 45 seconds and then they do their deep dive. Because it's an unpopular opinion to criticize and hold accountable the people that are doing the worst things with society. Now, there is no crime against being poor. Let me say that, let me preface this conversation, and I'm also going to tap on some of the things that he said later on in the video, especially about rich people. But there is no crime against being poor. The problem though is that what you see happening, especially in America, because this is not a third world country like they try to paint it out to be, in y'all should have learned that from how the Europeans and everybody that was here from the World Cup, how they observed and how they made their, their perspective about what's going on inside of society. And so, with the freedom that we have to do the things that we do for people in today's time, to not only be making an informed decision that drives them into poverty, but also won't take accountability, with the freedom that you have to go and drive yourself to be successful, relatively, is crazy to me.
