Poor People Have Eyes

Poor People Have Eyes

I wonder what percentage of poor people are really stupid. If you go back several decades the Imperialist powers at the time probably thought the same thing as is reported in the media and held dearly by the so called elite of today, that all poor people are stupid and thus Empires and Colonies were lost.

If the elite can remember their basic biology class at their Ivy League Schools, of course, in-between the cell phone calls and text messaging, they might recall most humans Poor people included have eyes and ears. They hear everything you say and they see everything you do. And yes their day will come and they will remember who treated them well and who spoke to them in the elitist polite tone filled with sarcasm that assumedly no Poor person could understand.

I do not gamble but I am willing to bet the percentage of Poor people that are really stupid matches the percentage of Rich people that are really stupid. You do not need to go back to Statistics 101, just look around you; sub-prime algorithms based AAA grade investment funds. How many stupid Rich people lose their money every day? Or how many Rich kids can not even put a sentence together or have lost all their people skills from playing computer games and live off of mommy and daddy’s money despite spending a small fortune on their education with zero percent return on investment not able to earn one baht their self only spend. How many stupid PhDs have you met that can only talk to a white board. How many times an important event happened at your company but because you talk to your employees like a dog no one tells you about it. I wonder why?

In all societies throughout history information has brought down the elite that have forgotten that Poor people are human beings too and yes, Poor people have eyes and ears. The Lao maid that you talk to like a dog and pay like one just because you can take advantage of her Immigration status hears everything you say and sees everything you do. The Poor Issan farmer has eyes and ears also. The Poor Mexican construction worker in America is building houses and because he lives with 10 other persons can save $24,000 USD to build his dream back home. How many middle class Americans can do that in the worlds so called advanced society? Yes, Poor people will find away and they will not forget the elite that climbed on their backs to get to the top.

But Poor people do remember who treated them with respect. However you define it haves and have nots rich and poor Empires have been lost by assuming Poor people are stupid. Many people have forgotten that the world is round. Information is funny travels downward quickly but not upwards so easily I guess it must be gravity.
