The distance between:
Melania has a new high-end outfit every day.
The homeless woman gets a used coat in winter.
Someone pays $85,000 a month at a care facility on the
“Rehab Riviera.”
A small town addicted teen struggles to find love and
support.
Bill and Melinda Gates get big press for their philanthropy
which comes from their vast excess.
The old black woman who takes in ironing and saves for
college scholarships for young black women gets barely a mention.
The celebrity du jour has the machinery to keep him or her
in the news—interviews, talk show appearances, tabloid stories.
The White Helmets risk their lives to save the lives of
others on a daily basis with little acknowledgment.
In Congress, the money of wealthy individuals and
corporations regularly buys the votes of legislators.
The single votes of you and me seem meaningless.
