A quote from our article called Poverty Business. Our opportunity divide works in a backwards direction with the rich staying above the pyramid while the rest of are the foundation, keeping them grounded with our hard work. Taking out loans is a dangerous thing for those of us who need it, and you can see it in the neighborhoods.The poor need money so lets put it next to the liquor stores, the laundry mats, and the Goodwill's. These places aren't just put anywhere but strategically placed in our own backyards. But why is it in the poor neighborhoods and not the rich, because we need to make our payments on time and if we cant payback the loan then we've only dug a deeper hole for ourselves and our rates will only go up for this. This is what these business' want, all they care about is money and they'll take as much of it as they can from whoever they can. Its not so much that we are tricked but that we become the desperate and willing. This is not something we are taught or warned about in school. By the time do know about it, its usually when we are learning the hard way.
"Why bother grabbing for the few dollars in a broke man's pocket? Now there's a reason."
