[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most of us worked hard in school, spend years in college and graduate school and put in long hours at work. It isn't that hard of a formula.

Also, your anger is directed at people who are WORKING for money. Maybe you should redirect it to people who either aren't working and living off the system or those not working and living off trust funds. [/quote]

Janitors, cleaning staff, garbage collectors, restaurant workers, laborers and the like also work hard, most probably physically harder than you could. Lots of working class people work 2 jobs to keep up and pay the rent.

1%ers don’t corner the market on “hard work.” [/quote]

Seriously.  All the white-collar jerkoffs who put their 12-hour days in from their climate-controlled office doing nonphysical labor beating their chest about how hard their work.  And most of them got their cushy job because their parents bankrolled them through school and taught them all the unspoken rules of the white collar world and called in a favor to get them an internship or off the wait list - but absolutely refuse to acknowledge what a huge advantage that this has given them because if they admitted that there was ANY luck involved in their success it might damage their poor fragile egos.  Better to put down those whose work is beneath the and cling to their beliefs that lower socioeconomic classes are all a bunch of unemployed slackers.[/quote]

I’m one of those jerkoffs, except I recognize that other people work really hard, and my parents never EVER called in a damn thing for me. They were bankrupt, divorced, and addicted. Don’t assume every white collar worker had an easy path.  [/quote]
