Since you are educated on the history of our country, our government, and its basic features and design, please tell us when landless citizens consented to a Constitution which was imposed on them without representation.
Tacit consent is still consent. The landless had the opportunity to revolt, but failed or refused, so too bad for them.
They had the same representation we all do via our vote.
Um, may I quote you on that? Are you not familiar with the history of our country? Are you not aware that minimum property-holding requirements for voting existed until approximately the 1830s - long after the Constitution was ratified by the requisite number of states?
Landless citizens had no vote regarding ratification of the Constitution, and of course no input into writing it.
YOU made the choice of what you would major in in college.
No ONE forced you to take up a Liberal Arts degree.
YOU could have taken ANY other major and gotten a job IF you had a degree in something worth while INSTEAD of your worthless Liberal Arts.
So quit trying to blame others and take the personal responsibility and admit it was YOUR choice.
People make choices.
Why are three "low income" people?
Because THEY chose NOT to do well in high school IF they graduated at all.
If you don't have at the least high school diploma, your chance of getting ANY job other then a "bottom'-wage" one is VERY remote.
This country is awash in people who grew up poor and made successes of themselves.
My degree was NEVER intended or expected to get me a job. It was intended to get me into law school. In that sense my degree succeeded but by the time I graduated law school had become out of my financial reach. My comp sci minor was not 'sufficient' to interest prospective CS employers, and the then-emerging PC rendered my mainframe background increasingly obsolete.
student loans, work, great grades for scholarships and grants.
a/k/a W-O-R-K both as in labor and in studying
I know a number of people who came out of law school with six-figure debt, didn't get law jobs, and worked menial jobs to tread water. One ultimately got out of debt by climbing the political ladder. Some didn't get out of debt.
Homeowners have this odd sense of entitlement which leads them to demand a say in all of the real property owned by others. It's called real estate law and zoning. It's why homeowners enjoy preferential tax rates on their homes ('homestead exemptions') while Other People's Property is taxed up the wazoo in many states.

Very few college graduates have degrees that enable them to get a job in a certain field. I know I didn't. But you get a job and work your way up. But you don't start in your 60s like you. You've made a whole series of blunders that eventually had you end up where you are.
At least you are alive. And posting incessantly on internet forums. Could be worse!!
