Poor Banned from Using Money

Today in the US the upper classes succeeded in getting a bill passed banning poor people from using money.

“Money is too good for them.” stated Raymond Emory III, a third generation trust funder, “They only spend it on the little things like food and shelter instead of wonderful things like jewelry or fabulous fashions.”

“The poor live at such a low level anyway.” quipped Ms. Nelly Riva, a photo model who gets paid 20 times her weight daily.

“They could just live off what we cast off and live on the edges of town and use our old boxes to build shanties. Let those of us with important jobs like modeling and selling cosmetics have all the money to use properly.”

“They have such disgusting taste.” said Elmund Mahoney, an interior decorator who specializes in revamping second homes yearly when the owners tire of them. They eat at fast food joints and buy clothes at thrift stores. All they do is survival level and so functional! How boring!”

In reaction to the money ban, poor people have been seen organizing a dumpster co-op to share thrown off findings that they can use to survive. Many have been seen to share clothing, some sharing the same pants and shirt at the same time.

One poor woman found fighting a rat over some thrown out chicken stated “Well, I guess they need that money for important things. Them rich people build the buildings that give us alleys to sleep in so maybe I better say nothing.”

I was born and I died. Being a disembodied entity makes it very cheap for me to get by. Not having to worry about eating or having a place to live gives me a lot of freedom to squander my time writing occasionally funny articles. See more almost funny stuff at http://inyear252509.wordpress.com/
