Everyone works to buy material possessions and they've become obsessed with it. Life and happiness is no longer based on family life, it's based on how much a person makes and how good their job is. From Brendan, NY I find the gap between the rich and the poor disgusting. We live in the United States of America, the most economically secure country in the world. It's also the most privileged country, and yet there are millions of families that struggle with things that you and I take for granted.
Poor families fight to feed the children, get clean clothes and find a job.
I believe people should open their eyes and their hearts and take a step of goodwill and start helping. In today's society Americans have come to obey one thing, the all mighty dollar. Not matter what financial level a person is on, from multi-billionaire to the poverty level, everyone wants more money. I don't think so. I'm guilty of this as well.
