ABOUT – Proud Have-Not

Who I Am

I’m someone who has spent years watching everyday Americans get crushed by systems that were never built for them. I’m not here to sell a fantasy or pretend that “positive thinking” solves structural harm. I’m here to name the patterns, call out the illusions, and speak plainly about what’s happening to all of us.

What Proud Have-Not Means

“Have-not” isn’t an insult — it’s a perspective.
It means refusing to measure your worth by wealth, status, or appearance.
It means seeing the ways greed shapes our society and choosing not to play by the rules of the people who profit from that system.

A Proud Have-Not values truth, connection, and humanity more than accumulation.

Why This Site Exists

We’re living through a time where:

  • The cost of living is skyrocketing
  • Corporate greed is normalized
  • Politicians protect donors, not communities
  • Media distracts instead of informs
  • Psychology labels you “the problem” instead of confronting the system
  • And millions are struggling silently

This site is here to break that silence.
To expose the patterns.
To show that you’re not alone — and you’re not failing.
You’re navigating a rigged system.

My Mission

I want to help people see through the illusions and find clarity, truth, and empowerment. I want to explore the psychological patterns behind greed, how they shape our world, and how we can push back in small but meaningful ways.

Not through shame.
Not through hustle culture.
Not through toxic positivity.
But through seeing reality for what it is — and refusing to stay quiet.

What You Can Expect Here

  • Honest commentary about greed and power
  • Visual storytelling and anti-greed imagery
  • Breakdowns of how systems manipulate us
  • Stories that highlight the working class, the unseen, the displaced
  • Guides that help you navigate the game (healthcare, housing, corporations)
  • Audio versions of posts so you can listen instead of read
  • Tools and truth you can share with others

A Final Note

If this resonates with you, then you’re already part of this movement — a movement of people tired of being blamed for systems designed to fail us.

You don’t need wealth to have worth.
You don’t need status to speak truth.

You just need clarity — and the refusal to be silent.
