Money Talks

Society today is defined by the money in your pocket, the brands you wear, and the food you eat. Only 1% of the public today owns all majority of the wealth. The part about it that is sick, is from the perspective of the wealthy, the poor and lower class are looked down upon, as if they were to be a different race. Though for the most part we have tackled racial issues like slavery in our society I find social class to be the new racism. In many instances children of the wealthy are not aloud to associate let alone date those of lower income. People who make the money make the decisions in our society. The old saying, "money talks". In society today, money doesn't just talk, it defines. But looking past all the green, we are all the same. From my experience at a soup kitchen with those who are less fortunate, in comparison to money makers like Oprah, the John D. Rockefeller, Donald Trump, there is no difference. Oprah being a great example, someone who came from nothing. How can she be considered a specific type of person, when she used to fit into such a low class.
