Someone is stuck in a time warp... Or just cannot figure out the way capitalism works.

Entitlement is the first symptom of the spoiled child/adult.

Silicon Valley and Redmond Washington have minted quite a few non union worker millionaires, to name just a couple of instances. I wouldn't mind being so "unfairly exploited"..



I was "unfairly exploited" by one of those evil Silicon Valley companies for about 5 years. Didn't make the millionaires club, but came close enough.

Boy does that ever miss the point. Millionaires can take care of themselves and there are not enough resources on earth for everyone to be a millionair.

The concern is for the 99% of the middle class just trying to get by. Decent wages for bank clerks, farm workers, fry cooks and manufacturing folks, coal miners and laborers, and construction workers and nurses.

Jamie diamond makes 600 million and what does a bank clerk standing on her feet all day make?
