Yes, it's better than anything else.

But the way some of you romanticize it is nauseating.

Hardworking reap the rewards, lazy get less due to less effort.


Keep telling yourself that.

Being born to the right parents (which does not necessarily mean those with money) is an invisible privilege that fetuses can’t earn.

THIS. Seriously, we prop up failing industries and companies in this country, which then they go on to screw over consumers when they are healthy again, while the leaders decry anyone who isn't making millions as "takers" or worse.

Tax the rich. For crying out loud, tax the rich.

Agree 10000%, also in the .1%

It’s better to be the capital than the labor.
