Comment on People who say 'the rich get richer, the lazy live for free, and the middle class pays for it all' don't realize how expensive it is to be rich and how close middle class is to being below the poverty line.

Yeah, I think people who say that don’t realize a few key things.

First, they don’t understand the ‘poverty tax’ - how not having money for things like a security deposit, reliable transportation, or bulk buying actually costs you more in the long run.

And second, they don’t see how thin the margin for error is for most middle-class families. One medical bill or job loss is all it takes to fall behind
