Why does everything in this country have to be run by money? Every single day people are robbed, beaten, and murdered for money. Such an enormous amount of crime is directly correlated with money. They say that money can’t buy happiness, but it can sure buy security, in every sense of the word. Why should people have to worry about where every cent in their paycheck is going? It just isn’t right. So often earnings have nothing to do with how hard a person is working, but rather their last name or who they are. People with big last names are paid millions just to show their face in a public place, while someone who is seen as a “nobody” is paid a minuscule fraction of what that person makes while working one hundred times as hard. Money also just gives people another reason to group people together, into economic statuses. We are grouping people together when really we should be trying to separate them and see them as individuals. Money makes everything into a fucking competition. Everyone just wants to be the person with the fastest car, or the biggest house. Why can’t we just live for the simple things in life? Why do we thrive off of something that causes this many problems? I don’t understand it. This isn’t the type of place that I want to live in.
