In life, as we all know, there are the haves, and then there are the have nots. The Kardashian family certainly are amongst the haves. Sure, their father is dead, but millions have had it worse. Countless people in developing nations live on less than a dollar a day, working in squalid conditions for that pittance, or closer to home, Lamar Odom, husband of tallest sister Khloe, was raised in South Jamaica, Queens by his grandmother, due to the fact that his father was a heroin addict and his mother died when he was twelve. There are difficult stories wherever you go, but the sheer wealth and prosperity afforded to the Kardashian sisters can at times be quite disgusting, especially in times of deep recession and economic collapse in the United States. As Fat Joe boasts at the beginning of his 2009 track "Cupcakes": 'We don't see no recession...We don't give a **** about no recession...' Such is life for the very few privileged, while the masses languish and wallow in poverty, job losses and day to day mediocrity.
