DQ #3 Week 5 When All else fails rob the poor

1. The thesis of the essay is the poor as target of countless organizations, companies, and even our own government. The poor are targets in great numbers creating over 100 billion dollars in fees for  "loan sharks" and government departments. Fees range from reasonable to unfair to the ridiculous. Fees are given for actions and situations such as dept, incarceration, and even as ridiculous as putting one's feet on seats on subways in New York.
2. The author does not give any evidence for anything he says. He gives a strong one sided argument with no evidence to even prove if what he's saying is even true or not. He states many fees forced on the poor, through this he makes poor people sound like all around victims and corporate America sound like criminals.
3. The writer states no opposing arguments. The writer should have stated some of agencies that help the poor not be victims of these crimes, not just state that they exist. He also should have stated some businesses that help the poor like Goodwill that helps the poor find jobs. Also he should have stated Government agencies formed to help the poor.
4. The conclusions is that the poor should fight against thefts, even from millionaires. He should have stated the ways the poor can fight these unfair fees.
5. Major premise: The poor are victims of ridiculous fee from employers, corporations and government agencies
Minor Premise: The poor are practically defenseless in many cases.
Conclusion: the poor need to fight the unfair fees that are practically theft.
