> relieved of the guilt of being poor

That kind of sums it up right there. Most wealthy people in this country didn't become wealthy because they were able to save money while working for $15/hr.

You can't save your way out of poverty, the poor don't want your sympathy, they want dignity. They want a living wage, a pension, and healthcare. We can afford to give it to them, we're just too focused on making more billionaires.
