It's a comforting cliche to say live for today, but for millions of people who lack adequate housing, health care and work that pays their bills, this is indeed a dark country and each day brings fear and struggle. True, many people are middle class, and a few are super rich, but even if it's a minority, it is a SUBSTANTIAL minority of people who live in dire poverty in the so called richest country in the world.

But it is not until the darkness the millions are already suffering from starts creeping up towards those in the comfort zone that anything will be done. And then the rose colored glasses of the upper classes will be removed.
