16. He isn't the only one. How many politicians or CEOs know

Jul 2017

how much I a gallon of milk is or how much $20 buys in food now at days? Some forget or NEVER had to rob Peter to pay Paul.

Just remember not everyone has access to farmer's markets at least in the area I live in. It is on a week night evening most working poor I know are working to go.

Some have to decide (like elderly people I once worked for.) Do they buy food or keep the lights on? Friends a single mother she had to pick medicine for her cold or giving the her child the money to participate in a school activity.

This is a fucked up country. My friend lives in France and she says her biggest nightmare is having to come back to live in America. She is not rich but between her husband's full time job and her part time job they live VERY comfortably.
