We have been dealing lately with "short stories" in my class, and we were told to find a short story and read it to the class, so I decided to make it a bit more interesting and pick a short story that brings out the downside of capitalism.
Now the town I'm living in has for generations passed on this 'ignorant' stylish behaviour. My town is having some economical problems along with most of the other towns in Finland, and is therefore increasing the taxing for most of the things only to invest its money into something that the society does not need instead of re-newing water lines, infrastructure and such.

I've been looking on google for some short stories that takes place in a poor worker family, but without results, therefore I need your help, comrades.

Just finished watching "Land and Freedom", gonna watch "Bread and Roses" soon, great movies to be honest.

Anything is greatly appreciated, I need it
