Hello dear Reader, James Reyes here to tell you about my day.

Well today I was at class and my teacher kept babbling about how Rich people are selfish and don't give to the poor blah blah blah. I was really annoyed because she kept implying that the rich were heartless. But she failed to see how the Poor are also part of the problem. Why do you think they're poor? Because they're jobless. And why are they Jobless because they're too lazy to get a job. I mean I'm not saying that Poor people are lazy but I'm just saying that to rise from poverty you don't rely on others entirely. Like this one story I've seen on T.V. There was this Rich guy who gave a Poor woman a house for free and even a job opening. A few months after the Rich guy found out that the Woman sold the house and spent the cash elsewhere and quit the job. Now who do you think was at fault there? Its just not fair saying "Rich people should give to the less fortunate" although some Rich people are really selfish some are also extremely generous. To get through poverty we need to help each other and ourselves. Not rely entirely on others.
