You don't live in a dysfunctional family?

PAYDAY LOANS
Really, Let's take a look at one. This is a family of seven. The mother and father both work to pay for their overvalued home in their upscale gated community. The father is a police officer who is assigned to poor minority neighborhoods. The mother is a social worker who is also assigned to poor neighborhoods. They have two children who are multimillionaires. They earned their money from the stock market and other money related activities the parents don't understand. They don't pay rent or contribute to the household income even though they tell the parents how to run the house and how to enforce the rules.
They have two more children who are homeless. They became addicted to drugs and online gaming and cannot keep a job so their millionaire siblings made them leave since they cannot contribute to the household. The parents feel sorry for their unfortunate offspring and let them come to the back door of the kitchen to get leftovers and sometimes slip them a couple of bucks.
They have one more kid who is very tough and kind of dangerous. He is always starting fights with other dangerous types and he has many kinds of weapons in his locked room. He comes home all hours of the night and doesn‘t explain his whereabouts or activities to anybody. The millionaires lets him stay there because they feel safe with his presence and they are sort of afraid of him. He also has demands that have to be met by the parents and doesn’t contribute any money to the household.
Mom and dad are so stretched trying to make ends meet that they have to start getting payday loans. The millionaires don't pay any rent because they feel that they made their money and they shouldn't have to give any to their parents. The scary kid doesn’t pay any money because he is contributing safety and security to the household and that's worth more than money. The parents don't complain because they have millionaires living in their house of whom they brag to all their friends. They don’t mention the scary son so much but they feel safer that he is around, especially whenever the homeless kids want to stay around and cause trouble.
Also the millionaires give them lots of good money advice, except that after supporting them, the gun toting son, the overvalued house in the upscale gated community they don't have enough money left over to meet basic expenses. They get four payday loans a month. Two from the Chinese owned payday loan place and one from the Arab owned payday loan place. Sometimes they barely make the payments and sometimes they have to reloan in order to make it to the next week.
The gun packing son wants to install more security and he wants more guns that he insists the parents buy. Mom and dad can't afford it but they can't say no either. What if something were to happen, what if they got robbed?
You say this is ridiculous there is no family on earth like this.
Really?
What about the United State of America?
What?
Mmmm?
Oh..... Ok.
