My wife watched this and said the lady was complaining about not having money while getting her hair done, and all her kids were drinking soda. She said it showed a lot of things the lady was doing wrong. If you're broke, and you are wondering how to pay for your medicine, then don't buy things you don't need. It is that simple. I come from dirt poor, and I can not tell you how many times I would go to a friends parents house that was run down and falling apart, and oh look, they have a big screen tv, latest playstation, xbox, and cable. Hell, I'm no longer poor, and I will not buy cable, because it is a ripoff.
I guess we all just blame Obama, instead of doing something to better our selves. (sarcasm)

If you have no money to live why would you even get a puppy in the first place. They are expensive!

Sigh. If you buy designer brands from the pet store, I guess they could be. If you can't afford food, you probably can't afford the necessary shots. But dogs don't cost a lot to keep, and it's easy to find free ones.

"Filmed over the course of a year, Gilbert’s story is designed to put a face on the issue of poverty — and to provide a not-so-thinly-veiled rejoinder to the conservative media’s message that most poor families headed by single moms are welfare slackers."
Brian Lowry (Variety)
- well now Mr. Lowry, how nice of you to embrace the same stupidity of those evil "conservative media" by attempting to portray just the opposite with this one example.
Thanks for the upload OP but to be honest this just made me more angry.
This woman is single and has 3 kids. Her and her ex husband are on food stamps and use a subsidized daycare for the children. Now on top of that she makes @ $18,000 with three dependents each worth $2,500 in tax deduction and $1,000 in credit.
I can tell you point blank that she paid NO taxes and got a minimum of $3,000 back.
- Now where the fuck do you people think the money for those food stamps, subsidized childcare and tax bonus came from? Huh?
........People are evil because they don't want to give someone else money they worked for. We're evil? US? wtf america!

People are evil because they don't want to give someone else money they worked for.
It is kind of ironic you say this as your are in a subreddit full of pirated movies that you are watching illegally and for free when someone worked to make them and is expecting a paycheck for it, but you are just taking them for free despite their work.

yawn
In your world- every school kid has to pay the publisher for every schoolbook they read.
Let me know when authors start putting guns to head of people who buy second hand books for their "cut" mmmkay?

So you are all for protecting your own hard-earned money but once it comes to someone else's work then it's okay to withhold the money from them? So basically you are for whatever stance benefits you the most while screwing others over. Nice.

are you fucking serious? Look here mr zombieviper, you're an idiot, I wish I were joking.
"your taxes chose to distribute some of it to families like hers because it benefits our economy"
that was stupid, flat out fucking dumb.

It wasn't an argument, it was a fact. You are an idiot for thinking that her $18,000 betters our economy by her spending it.

I don't have to come up with a solution for her because she isn't and shouldn't be my problem. Unfortunately she and many others are when my taxes are through the fucking roof!
Federal income taxes, state income taxes, sales taxes, property taxes, fuel taxes, insurance etc, etc,...........partly because of people like her needing food stamps, subsidized daycare and tax deductions.
Her problems should not be my problems but.........they are. I know it sounds selfish but how selfish is it of them to say I need/deserve this! and then get it? Without my permission.

"the perfect utopia you dream of"
Now you're just being a shithead.
what would you change about the tax system
A Flat Tax of (insert percentage) for everyone with no exemptions would be fair for everyone. You earn $1, you pay (insert %).
And don't even try that a flat tax disenfranchises the poor crap with me. It does no such thing. 10% of my dollar is the same as 10% of your dollar, the only difference are the choices you make spending the remainder.
- I'm sick of paying for everyone else's mistakes/decisions/choices.

This is the HBO documentary which they posted on YT and say it will be available until 24 Mar.
It appears to be region locked to the US, but I suspect some entrepreneurial soul could download it and re-upload it without such restrictions.
