Some thoughts on the this whole patty tax thing

dacollegedropout:

I can clearly understand the reaction from my peers who are obviously distraught at the new patty prices. But what I find funny is:

1. They can still afford it
2. They will still buy it
3. They will forget about the raise after they get used to it & move on with life

But from some of the reactions I’m seeing, you’d think they were begging on the streets & this has ruined their lives forever. I’m not complaining that much cuz I’ll still buy patty. But I think people who have it good shouldn’t be cussing about the raise like they’re suffering. Especially the people who do road every night/weekend & floss like crazy.

The tax increase definitely affects the working class citizens more than middle to upper class. I truly sympathise the people who cannot afford it & whose lives will be affected; some beyond repair.  I have less sympathy for people whom I know eat more expensively than a beef patty & live fortuitous lives.

Not saying you should accept the changes cuz I think it’s rubbish & will cause more harm than good, but don’t bawl about the increase when your lives are way better off than others.  If there’s one thing I’ve been learning recently, is that I should be more grateful for what I have cuz there are other WAY worse off than me.

Those are the ones I sympathise & pray for.
