Poor people

I definitely concede the point that there are those catastrophic events or circumstances which can create sudden and prolonged poverty; however, the VAST MAJORITY of individuals whom I’ve met who suffer financially do so as a direct result of their own behaviors.  And it pisses me off to no end.  I don’t mean the suffering part–but the entitlement part that burns my toast.  Though they are rampant consumers, choosing to buy up unnecessary luxuries that I would even deny myself, they have the audacity to feel entitled to handouts from folks like myself.  And do you know why I have disposable income?  Because I don’t spend it on ridiculous electronic toys and extravagant collections of purses and the like.  I am privileged because of my personal choices and shouldn’t be punished to reward those who cannot steer their own acts of volition.
