This morning I watched an ABC News report about kids fashion clothes. I found this obscene. Not because the kids were dressed sexually or anything, though it was very bizarre to see such young kids strutting up and down the cat-walk.
No, my issue with this is, that at a time when so many people are struggling to find jobs and put food on the table much less buy clothes for their kids, the wealthy are buying $500+ per item clothes for their kids. Not just expensive, but designer clothes.
I'm sure this has been going on since always, but to put it on the morning news, as if it's really news? It's just rubbing our faces in the fact that we aren't as rich as them. They even had a poor mother on there saying how she had to buy her kids clothes at a thrift store, as I know my parents had to do for my siblings and I when we were kids.
Is ABC trying to incite a riot against the rich? Did they think it was cute? Were they catering to their wealthy viewers? Maybe they are just out of touch with what the rest of the country goes through sitting in NYC?
I don't hold it against the Bourgeoisie for being wealthy. I wish I was wealthy enough to not have to stress about bills, putting food on the table, etc. However, when they gloat or rub it in the faces of the rest of us, it's not just rude, it's obscene.
