Whatever. Edited to add:

We are the oppressed working poor. You don't get it because you live in Texas. We pay 7.00 per gallon for gas, .50 per kwh for electricity and we are drowning in medical, dental and car repair debt. Those people get free medical, don't need a car and don't have a PG&E bill and get free rent.

It seems to me that is those in the middle who are punished the most by society. The wealthy are barely touched due to their wealth, and they can afford costly accountants that keep them wealthy etc. We have in the UK the welfare state, which was founded on the principal of careing for the ordinary people from the cradle to the grave. And somehow working for some has been degraded, resulting in several generations now who don't and won't  work, they see it as a mugs game. Some able bodied people even believe that they have a right to live on benefits and for the state to support them. Then there are those who are genuinely poor and homeless for whatever reason. Those in the middle work because they value it as well as having to, but they are caned by taxation, and survive from paycheck to paycheck. Many now have no chance of buying a home and so are the prey of private landlords. And on top of it all thousands of migrants are sold the lie that the West is Utopia, and as a result we are inundated by unskilled, illegal immigrants. The whole thing in our Western capitalist countries is a mess, and people are miserable for a lot of the time. Then come lunatic leaders who cause wars and suffering and possible world economic collapse. Your country whichever it is in the West, I guarantee sounds pretty much like mine, we all are suffering from the same malaise from the ordinary man to the wealthy, to politicians and governments: selfishness,greed,pride and vanity. All vices that are contrary to Christ. We do not love God,nor our neighbour, we do not live His commandments, we do not do His will. Politicians sell us lies to win elections, promise those things for the greater good with no intention of keeping them. They allow themselves to be bought and corrupted, they cause wars to force countries to accept our take on democracy. We steal land, my country has been the worst, and don't  expect resistance from our victims, and the rich get richer out of these catastrophies.  If ever there was a time when Christian countries so called should return to Christ it is now. Repent, He said, that's  where it begins on a personal level. If politicians and leaders will ever see their fault is debatable, in this life, but one day  they and we will all have to give account for our own part in the human tragedy.
