Myths of the Unemployed
Myths of the Unemployed
Who are we, you ask ?
We are every day people like you, but with a difference of having our dreams shattered and society shuns us as if we are criminals.
We are not losers, lazy ass's, stoners, druggies, living on the system and lastly those you see on the freeway off ramp holding up a card board sign with our hands out begging for money. We do not consider ourselves on vacation, you won't find us watching TV and eating bon bons all day either. We are human beings being discriminated against and fall into a whole new group.
We are homeless, jobless, White, Black, Asian, Hispanic, Mexican illegal aliens with no green cards. We come in all professions as well, we are attorneys, paralegals, young college students, older mature adults. Older adults that have been cheated out of their retirement, their 401K. Big companies trying to save a dime, make older adults retire early with no retirement or pensions, older adults laid off work due to their jobs being cut or the company they worked for closed down. Looking for work should be easy you say right, We have all the qualifications that any employer would seek and want on their team right ? No, older adults are the most discriminated against now a days. Adults 55 and older are shunned against when applying for jobs, we are told we are overqualified, want too much pay, will retire soon and the company doesn't want that burden of having to pay into our retirement, so like a worn out record, we constantly hear the line " Sorry, but your over qualified for this position".
For the college student with dreams of a better future, good luck, any employer with no heart would gladly hire an illegal alien, pay them under the table and their salary would be five to seven bucks an hour at a minimum of fifteen hours a day with no over time or benefits, yeah, welcome to America, the land of the free ride with no jobs for Americans.
Unemployed and need assistance ? Sorry, unless your an illegal alien and pregnant we can not help you at this time, come back once your knocked up.
Need medical insurance ? Apply for Obamacare, yes, its only hundred and sixty five a month if your unemployed and if your working, guess what, we want you to pay three hundred and fifty dollars a month.
Need a place to live ? Go to your local shelter and and be there by 5 pm, if you arrive later than 5 pm, sorry we can not house you for the night. Need to rent an apartment since loosing your home or prior apartment due to being laid off or loosing your job ? Sorry, but with no steady pay check and no employer to verify your employment, we can not rent to you.
Many of us are living in shelters, our vehicles, in parks at night, bus stations, train stations just trying to survive.
Society shuns the unemployed, are you one of them ?
