How can the poor be poor?

With the further deepening of social reform, while some people get rich, others quickly become poor, so poor that they can't afford to buy a house, look down on illness, go to school or even eat. The lack of social security makes these people almost helpless, and their children have become the "poor second generation", which has a strong gap in ideological and material work, and all this is covered up by the prosperity of urban high-level markets and the arrogance of the rich. They are like the lower part of an iceberg on the sea. The bright dead angle and social blind area are ignored by society, but this group can account for 30% of the total population, and its potential impact on society cannot be underestimated. If this problem is not handled properly, it will seriously hinder the process of social development and reform, and we cannot take it lightly. During the planned economy period in the 1970s, there was no obvious economic gap between ordinary people and even senior cadres, and there was almost no difference in food, clothing, housing, transportation and even behavior. Therefore, even in the 1980s, cadres still enjoyed the image of public servants before suffering, and being a cadre meant more dedication. However, with the implementation of the dual-track system in the mid-1980s and the rise of state-owned enterprise restructuring and contracting, due to the intensification of social competition, the responsibilities and powers of enterprise leaders have expanded infinitely, and enterprise contractors and workers have suddenly become masters and servants. The former, regardless of their talents, can do whatever they want once they control the enterprise, while the latter has the power of life and death. However, social supervision is not in place and laws and regulations are absent, which makes some leaders of these enterprises crazy and greedy, so that regardless of the interests of enterprises and the rights and interests of employees, they regard state-owned assets as personal coffers and arbitrarily squander or turn public into private ones. Therefore, in just a few years, few state-owned enterprises have become the industry leader in the game with private enterprises, and most of them have lost like a mountain, resulting in tens of millions of employees of state-owned enterprises losing their jobs and suddenly losing their economic foundation for survival. These 40-and 50-year-old workers in state-owned enterprises can't compete with the swarming army of migrant workers physically, and they are bound to fail in skill shopping with a group of college students who graduated after enrollment expansion. So, in the end, most of these laid-off workers have become the people who steal the most things, are the most tired, have the lowest wages and the worst treatment in the city. Some contracting enterprises, private enterprises and even state-owned enterprises also take advantage of the social transition period to maximize the profits of enterprises and push the treatment of workers to the limit. For example, in 1994, I got a probation salary in 400 yuan. At that time, the monthly living expenses of a family of three were up to one or two hundred yuan. At present, the monthly salary of a cleaner is only seven or eight hundred yuan, but breakfast costs two or three yuan, and the monthly living expenses of a family of three also costs one or two thousand yuan. This contrast, those who earn four or five thousand yuan a month, let us wage earners change our minds! So much for the bloodiness and cruelty in the early days of capitalism! At present, mobile vendors who are regarded as urban scars are mostly such people. Although many of them are gray-haired or sick, they have to avoid being chased and scolded by urban management personnel all the time for three meals a day, for their children to go to school in cold and hot weather and for the scorching sun in the snow. In today's materialistic environment, the whole society is dazzled by wealth, and most people are under the double pressure of society and family. Therefore, you will often hear that men in their 40 s and 50 s commit suicide or are insane, and some of them become secular and hooligans, and their rebellious mentality towards society is getting stronger and stronger. Hunger can make people eat people, and poverty can make people degenerate or even lose their conscience. In the social atmosphere of hedonism, all preaching to people trapped in poverty is pale and powerless. Therefore, the government has done a lot of work to help the disadvantaged groups in the last two years, but it is far from enough. It should increase its efforts, otherwise it will become the source of social instability. In the process of urban transformation, large-scale demolition has made many people's livelihood difficult. In the 1970s and 1980s, people could improve their housing conditions without spending a penny. However, after the 1990s, commercial housing was widely implemented, and ordinary people often got only a small amount of demolition money, leaving no room for manoeuvre. If they don't move, they will cut off power and water or even forcibly demolish! If you want to live in a new house, you have to take out all your savings and even borrow money, which makes a considerable number of low-income people become "losers" from now on. All kinds of objective conditions make their income less than the necessities of life. The purpose of these people's life is to keep their own survival chain unbroken. After 2000, house prices soared, and many people who just got the demolition money suddenly found that their money could not even sell a slightly larger bathroom, because many renters had used up the demolition money, and there were very few poor households in the country who could benefit from low-rent housing and affordable housing, so almost all the bungalows demolished by the government today were nail households because they had no way out. This powerful economic gap has seriously affected their moral image and the price index of their children in work and marriage, and seriously distorted the weight of people's psychological balance. This can't blame them, society has a responsibility! With the reform of medical system, almost all poor people are afraid of getting sick. In medical reality, a cold can cost1.20 thousand, a slightly heavier disease can cost120 thousand, and a heavier disease can cost hundreds of thousands. White-collar workers who spend 3000 to 4000 yuan a month are still afraid, not to mention migrant workers who spend about 1000 now. Excluding the lowest insurance premium, people who are engaged in the pro-social public welfare posts only get 700 yuan to 800 yuan, and they are just 40 to 50 years old, with the heaviest living load from the old to the young, and also the most vulnerable period of physical age. Now a family of three can scrimp and save. How much can they save? And it is said that even such a low-paying job can only be obtained through relationships and gifts! And what about those who don't even have such a small income? You can't just set up a stall. If you enter the closed market, no matter whether you make money or not, you must pay 1 10,000 to 20,000 booth fees first! But now luxury goods in society are so pleasing to the eye. In fact, among various monopoly groups, there are nearly one million high-paid people such as civil servants, medical personnel and teachers. Their monthly income is four or five thousand, and tens of thousands can be left after expenses are removed. In a few years, they will have considerable savings, not to mention their housing loans. Their high monthly provident fund is close to the monthly payment, and the proportion of medical treatment is much higher than that of ordinary people. Together with nearly a million foreign residents and business tourists, it is enough to maintain a city's high housing prices and high consumption. So we and 70% people may never have a chance to live with this for the rest of their lives. They can only struggle on the survival line, not counting those who are seriously ill and have no money to treat them. Even with insurance, tens of thousands of monthly payments are unsustainable. It is true that our national conditions are different, and universal protection in developed countries seems impossible. However, how to reduce the frequency of human tragedies as much as possible and spend the government's "not bad money" more on helping the disadvantaged groups instead of wasting it on many image projects should be a problem that leaders should seriously consider. The reform of the education system has created a group of intellectuals who are eager for quick success and instant benefit, but most of them are ordinary people who have been ignored in social changes because they have no choice in the education of their children. In the 1990s, the school selection system in junior high school made many people give almost all their savings to the school, followed by the high fees for choosing schools in senior high schools and universities, which made thousands of wage earners "proletarians", not counting the surprisingly high tuition fees for those who attended art universities in private universities and various cram schools. Of course, this is insignificant to those high-income bureaucrats or civil servants of monopoly groups, but it is like a mountain of Taishan to those low-income groups whose income is not guaranteed. In order not to let children fall on the starting line of life, they scrimp and even sell houses, and even sell their souls and bodies. However, the distance between the rich and the poor is increasing day by day. Therefore, to some extent, the indulgence of the ruling party to those who take bribes and bend the law and to the monopolists of state-owned enterprises is tantamount to throwing vulnerable groups into the abyss and making those who use their flesh and blood rich! An ordinary post under a bank can actually take bribes100000. What about the public security law and many government departments? Although the state has issued many regulations to prevent illegal recruitment of civil servants, the height of the road is one foot and the height of the devil is one foot, and the supervisor and the supervised are often the same. Nowadays, the society has almost become the thinking mode of the rich, and villas with hundreds of meters can be seen everywhere in the mass media, decorated like palaces; Tens of thousands of clothes and hundreds of diamond rings in shopping malls seem to be common things for ordinary people; Hundreds of thousands of beauty cards and tens of thousands of overseas trips seem to be available to everyone. In fact, many people dare not think about it at all. However, all this makes men who struggle all day long but can't get rid of poverty feel ashamed all the time, and also makes women who live at home for a long time always hate that they have the worst life, and this kind of psychological flooding in the whole society. Parents earn tens of dollars a day, but children may go to McDonald's or take a taxi to spend it casually. Parents can only blame themselves for their incompetence and cannot force their children to be too divorced from social customs. You are reluctant to buy clothes, but your children may wear thousands of Nike shoes. His reasons are grandiose, but your preaching is pale and powerless. This is the influence of social atmosphere! It is beneficial and harmless to accelerate the circulation of social goods and promote economic development, but as a human value and as a moral image of the whole society, it will inevitably go from bad to worse! So now many people drive cars to do small businesses, but many people can't earn oil money every day. Except for rich young ladies and gentlemen who are playing with tickets, most of them are saving money for blood transfusion for their parents. It is their parents' pension that keeps their vanity. There are many such parents around me who do small business from five o'clock to midnight every day. Eating is often the standard of two steamed buns and a glass of water, and their children, even those who are married and have children, are dressed in fashion and drive around doing nothing, becoming veritable neets! Too many people's blood and tears are covered up by colorful flowers in the market. Is this just a failure of family education? Is our propaganda media really ignorant? Or turn a blind eye! We can now face up to or expose the dark side of1950s,1960s,1970s and1980s, and the abnormal deaths of a large number of innocent people. Will it take decades to expose and expose the dark side of poverty today? Should we wait until then to add emotion and not help those who are now in despair? If these people's poverty is due to gambling, drug abuse or greed, it is also a lesson to be learned, but can they control the above reasons themselves? Once upon a time, workers and peasants were exalted to the altar, and correspondingly, millions of intellectuals and proletariat were put into another book, but times have changed. Please don't let history have a terrible cycle when intellectuals and proletariat repeat their glory. At present, social development is dazzling, and the construction of democracy and legal system is improving day by day. In this big form, I only hope that parents at all levels will uphold fairness in all aspects involving people's livelihood and civil rights as much as possible, because without fairness, what is justice? Without justice and harmony?
