what's the problem?

I just saw a meme of a full to the brim refrigerator that said "unemployed in America" and a near empty refrigerator that said "middle class in America". I want to start this by saying that I don't believe in the way that assistance has become an entitlement. I don't think that 'looking to charities, and remove the government' as a way for people to get by (and, get by is really not living; is it?) is a plausible answer, either...since the people that are spouting the END ENTITLEMENTS rhetoric are the very people that are arresting people for feeding the homeless, and slashing homeless people's tents. Yes. That's real charity there. I KNOW there are people that take advantage. I posted a video about some people yesterday on that very subject. In the crowds of thousands rushing to get rental assistance there were many, I am 100% sure, that really really really needed it. Just as sure as I am that there were some that probably really didn't. Let's look at this for a minute. We definitely live in a country where wages don't reflect cost of living. When you see families with more than one job that still struggle, that is clearly indicative of societal problems. Single mothers without child support because fathers don't think they should have to help, or just plain don't want to...and fathers that want to help but can't afford to. Young people that are uneducated and can only get a job that pays too low to live on. Not everyone has a family or a network of friends that can help them 'get by'....these people do need our help. I don't believe that minimum wage should be more than doubled. I think that is completely unrealistic, and I think that it would cause a different set of hardships. I do believe it needs to be raised. I do believe that there should be more giving by the able to help the needy. I do believe that mental health should be addressed with less stigma and more understanding in this country. I also believe that there need to be some changes in assistance, that is really a no brainer. If you think that I am wrong I want you to imagine how well you would do if you and your family of four had to live on $1,900/month.
