Jay-Z & Beyonce’s baby was born literally in a lap of Luxury
Taken from an article on yahoo’s omg blog:
“… the new mom seemed to forget that she wasn’t the only one at the hospital with a bundle of joy to gush over. Among other parents irked at how they were treated, a Brooklyn man named Neil Coulon is still reeling from his run-ins with Beyonce and Jay-Z’s muscle men while attempting to check on his premature twins inside Lenox Hill’s neonatal intensive care unit.”
“Really? Keeping a Dad from the NICU to check on his premature twins?
Hey Jay-Z, I got 99 problems but being a prick ain’t one.” - Operative X from ihatepeacocks.com
We must stop protecting the richest 1% and start fighting for the 99% or we will no longer have a Middle Class. We will have the 1% and their Servant Class.
To put this article in perspective:
“He makes $11 an hour as a line cook. At that rate, it would take four hours of work to afford one of the cowboy ribeyes he cooks.”
The base Gulfstream G5 starts at roughly $45,000,000.00 million dollars. The average school lunch (in Colorado) cost $1.95. That’s 23,076,923 lunches. And yet there are children that go without because their parents can’t afford $1.95 a day. Across the country politicians try to pass laws, often on behalf of Lobbyists for Corporations, that cut programs at schools, like Free & Reduced Lunches.
I challenge ANY CEO to sell their jet and use the money to pay for school lunches for EVERY child in Colorado or any other state for 1 year!
