The way I see it is that there are smart people and not-so-smart people. The smart people can get enough altitude to piece together what opportunities exist for them - REGARDLESS of what “market” they find themselves in. Then they either complain about it or take action to take advantage of the whatever the situation is. Those who are smart, but feel entitled (i.e. LAZY mutherfuckers) simply complain about “how unfair” it is and rail against whatever system they feel is “oppressing them” (they generally become teachers or work for the government).
Those who are smart and have even a MODICUM of discipline or work ethic lift their skirts, grab their balls, take a risk and make shit happen. Sometimes they fail. Sometimes they give up and allow “the system” to crush their dreams. OR… they adapt, learn from their mistakes and try again and again and again until they succeed.
Then we have our “not-so-smart” people. They exist because someone will always have to clean the toilet and take out the trash. They serve a useful function (most of the time). But they are generally not very bright, easily manipulated and very jealous of the “smart” people who worked hard to get where they are. They think “the pie is big enough for everyone” and “I ‘deserve’ to have this or that”. Fuck them - they don’t “deserve” shit. They didn’t earn it. Unfortunately, here in the USA, we gave those people the right to vote, which in my humble opinion, will ultimately lead to our downfall.

You are a very ignorant and slightly comical retard.
Please tell me again how a CEO works harder than a kid born into poverty who works for minimum wage.
My grandfather ran his own business and he was the laziest guy I knew. When it comes to wages under this economic system hard work is not what makes someone rich.
It’s easy to do well in school if you are not from a deprived area where you get beat up for doing your homework. It’s easy to get a job when you went to a good school had a car given to you at 16 and had a financially secure upper class family.
It takes more hard work to be a cleaner a builder or a waiter than it does to sit at a desk and do no manual work.
If you are not working you are not really creating capital, you are a part of a service sector that sells the stolen wealth of third world nations and sell it to the masses

Seeing as how my post was not addressed to you and you are calling me an ignorant comical retard, I can only assume you are trolling. But hey - let’s have some fun.
Me thinks English is not your first language, or you are severely lacking in reading comprehension. NOWHERE did I say that a CEO “physically works harder” than, say, a dishwasher. I said they were smarter. As a someone who has owned, run, bought and sold businesses, I can assure you that the hours and stress FAR exceed that of a dishwasher (or cleaner or builder or other laborer). I am smarter than the average bear and I have chosen several income vehicles throughout my adult life that have yielded some very pleasing financial results.
I am also a felon without a HS diploma. And for the record, I was not born with a silver spoon in my mouth. Far from it - my mother was literally a whore and I got beaten by different “daddies” on a regular basis (wound up in the hospital several times), left home at sixteen lived on the streets of Baltimore city and wound up in prison. And while I did not care to do my homework, I assure you no one would have had the balls to beat me up if I had.
So why, according to your limited little world view, am I able to make the kind of income I make (250K + per year)? I mean, I “should” be on welfare or strung out on heroin because I’m a victim of this evil society that exploited me.
OOOOOOR, maybe you are full of shit. I got out of prison, made some smart decisions about where to work and what to do for a living, invested wisely, bought several properties and leveraged some profits that enabled me to buy and sell several business for a very nice profit. All the while working a w-2 job as a commercial electrician (with a few years off for a Mortgage brokerage venture).
If I can do that, why can’t anyone else? BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT AS SMART AS ME, THEY WON’T WORK HARDER THAN ME, THEY FEEL ENTITLED TO SOMETHING AND REFUSE TO TAKE ACTION TO EVOLVE FROM THEIR PRESENT CIRCUMSTANCE. No one gave me anything. No one lent me any start up money. No one told me the “best course of action” - in fact most of the “advice” I received from my immediate family was dead wrong. I figured it out the hard way by falling down, picking myself up and learning from my mistakes.
My life story blows your entire pathetic argument out of the water.[/quote]
Tesla died a broke man, are you claiming you are smarter than Tesla?
