CJ, You don't think most Americans are doing their best to be more productive and relevant? No, I seriously don't think so. Americans sure think they work hard enough for the money, but there are always people out there who will work harder for less. The so-called "investment class" sees this, but the average American doesn't. The one example I'll bring up is the generation of young adults graduating from college these days. They were told to build up five or six-figure debts and expect jobs waiting for them when they graduate. Only problem is that many of them partied throughout their college years and studied whatever liberal art bulls--t their professors wanted to indoctrinate them with. They're now stuck having to do post-graduate work and study to make up for what they should have done in their undergraduate years. (Some of them, of course, become Occupy Wall Street losers, but now that the OWS movement has faded, reality is hitting them too.) So who do they blame for all of this besides themselves? They blame the economy. They blame the banks. They blame Bush. It's a lot easier than blaming reality. Or blaming the entitlement mentality that permeates throughout the entire culture that led to this. Were these young adults doing their best to be more productive and more relevant? I don't believe so. Tenchusatsu
