"If a free society cannot help the many who are poor, it cannot save the few who are rich."
John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
This quote is from JFK's inaugural speech on January 20, 1961. America is known for being "free" we have the rights to our life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness, and what this quote is saying is that if we live in this supposed free society and can't help the thousands of people living in poverty, then those who are rich aren't safe either. If we live in a society where there is more liberties than most countries it seems pitiful that we're living in such poverty, and those who are rich aren't making much of an effort to aid people in need. And that can't be said for everyone but today everyone is about personal gain and status and doing whatever to keep it. Were supposed to live in this free country which is why it's so appealing to immigrants but when they get here they are greeted with something quite different than what was promised, our country is run off power and big businesses not the laws that claim to give us our freedom, and if thats true eventually even the big shots won't be safe from the economic turmoil we're facing.
