THE CRISIS

I remember when the crisis in its infancy was on everyone´s lips, scaremongering -  even ME... but it didn´t affect me till Oct 2010.
Who does it seriously affect?
Who should we feel sorry for?
Not the sensible rich (we don´t worry about the others),
not the funcionarios (with their job for life),
not subsidised companies,
not companies run by a single family,
not families with 2 incomes,
not those working black, who don´t contribute to the system...
No, only those who lose their jobs or businesses,
or have their hours or salaries cut, through no fault of their own, who gave no cause for complaint,
and those who have no savings,
or family to support them...

So what proportion of the population is this?
If the active working population consists of 20 million people, and those we DON´T feel sorry for are 15 million ..., we feel sorry for the remaining 5 million - out of 44 million!

Please tell me my figures are wrong!!!!!
