Poor and poorer

HAT TO DO?

So I changed my dogs food...I was not happy with processed dog food.  I heard bad things about it.  So I switched my dogs to a diet that is made of fresh veggies, brown rice that I cook at home from whole food, and then I added Fresh Pet meat for their protein.  And I add ground sunflower hearts to the their food some good fats, and they both get joint supplements also.  

BUT one dog Flossie, has lost quite a bit of weight.  She needed to lose some because now she moves around a lot better with her old ACL injury.  But I don't want her to be malnourished...I can feel her hip bones thru all the hair, So Im back to giving her the dry food kibble,  along with her normal meat.  I can't really find one that is idea so I just got a grain free one, made with Salmon, hopefully the extra Omega will  help with her joint troubles...But I wish I could afford real Meat for her, I don't eat meat myself or fish.  I checked chicken, or beef that would cost me $70 a month So add in the veggies and rice, it's easily over $100 a month.  The Fresh Pet has real meat and some veggie, It cost me $15 a week for both so it's affordable, but it does have some processing going on. 

However with the rising cost of food, how am I going to be able to continue feeding my pets a decent diet?  I have already said that these will be my last pets simply because living in the USA is only for the wealthy anymore and I can not afford it .

I can't imagine how poor families are making do...not only is food on the rise so is gas, utilities, and the cost of MOST everything.  Yet wages are not going up, SS has not gone up...and when it does, the raise is taken away by Medicare increases, so the raises we don't get to keep.  I have used my Medicare ONLY one time in the 6 yrs I've had it, So I think there should be different tiers of Medicare.  

Meanwhile we have this ASS kiss congress.  Both sides now the Dems have to beg this Joe Manchin to do his job...and the GOP never do their job...and yet they get paid very well, they get raises, they get top tier medical and they get TONS of perks.  

Im so over Capitalism, I say bring on Socialism it can't do any worse for the Majority...it will however hurt the rich!! At least we will all be poor!!

I say to hell with them...let them eat crow. 

I always go back to just simple math to prove my point,.

A clerk works 40 hrs a week and brings home after taxes  $30,000 a year,  

$2,500 a month...
Her living expenses of mortgage or rent, utilities, travel, food, clothing etc comes to 

$2,200 a month she has $300 a month for the non recurring parts of life, like repairs, maintenance, healthcare not covered by her job, life insurance, pets, and child care expense..

An account executive brings home $300,000 a year after taxes. 

That means he is bringing home $25,000 a month. 

His rent, utilities, travel, food clothing and repeating monthly expenses, are naturally more than the clerks, his mortgage is higher, his car more expensive, his utilities are more, and his food bill higher, but for the sake of argument, lets triple the expense of the clerks household.

So $6,600 monthly...He has $18,400 left over...we could actually triple his expenses again make it 6 times hers and still has a bundle of income left over. 

Need I say more??
