But that is your perspective, you can't deny that others might
prefer drinks with their meals.
Yes it's about $500 a year, but it's the most basic need, the need
for food and drinks. If the system doesn't even provide you with
the most fundamental need, that perhaps there is something wrong
with the system. A system where the leaders bleed the commoners
thru taxes to sustain their sky high salary is not the right
system. If the salaries of leaders were $1 million (which is
already extremely high, considering the US president gets less than
US$500,000 a year) and the excess of 2-3 million of these dozen so
Ministers are distributed to the poor. How many more families can
these amount feed?
A person can walk or cycle to work too, it will save him $120 a
month and $1,440 a year. More savings than your drink, keeps your
healthy too.
If you save on clothes, for 1 year you can save $1,500 a
year.
