I work with very poor white and black people. the same ones that have no electricity, no water, no cars and every dime they get goes to cigarettes, dope, beer and poker machines. the guy that works with me is one example. his wife was the beneficiary of $650,000 4-5 years ago. today he is as broke as he was before receiving the windfall. no car, no house... nothing... every dime went into poker machines as did thousands of $ of borrowed money. after selling the house they paid cash for and lost from borrowing money to gamble there was $39,000 left. she went thru that in 2 months...... still no car, no job... nothing. give them a few hundred today and they will ask to borrow $10 tomorrow. $2000 may go far for some, but for many, it won't last thru the night

They laugh at me because I am different.
I laugh at them because they are all the same.
