By Linda Tirado
Audiobook
Finished this one at the gym this morning. Good book and it's always great when the author reads their own work, especially in this case. Ms Tirado is an exuberant and energetic speaker and im sure will have no problem doing the circuit.
This is a topic that not many feel comfortable discussing. Nobody wants to be poor or associate with the poor but blaming the poor is always in season. I love the quote from Steinbeck that she uses. Basically he sayIs that socialism would never catch on here because there are no poor people--just millionaires and those on the way to becoming millionaires. Still holds true today. I have friends, one disaster away from welfare themselves, defend the rich and deride the poor.
It's a great system if your rich. It keeps the majority fighting with each other and leaving you alone. It works everytime.
Im no socialist but uh...Hey rich dude! When is enough going to be enough for you? Maybe ya could let up a little and give someone else a chance?
This book was written but just a plain old person like the rest of us. Its part of that leveling that the last technological innovation was to bring about. I hope.we see more like this.
