The kind of jobs that these people are working to make that kind of income is largely due to where they’re from, who they are and whom they know. It’s got little to do with what they know or the level of competency or dedication to doing their job they have. These privileged few have been getting breaks their entire lives and the last thing they need is to be rewarded for it?
So no....I haven't any sympathy for them. I know people who work twice as hard only to make half as much. If you’re making that kind of scratch it’s kind of like owning a high end sports car. If you afford to drive a Ferrari, you can certainly afford to maintain it! |
Sorry, I gotta differ here. Many people apply themselves in school, get a good college education, sacrifice time, money and 'pleasure' to build a career and enjoy a better life in the long run. They don't deserved to be punished/taxed for making sacrifices, using common sense and making wise decisions.
As for the guy who slept in the back of the class and made snide remarks when the teacher was lecturing, then got his GED and took a job at the factory to keep him beer and ganja money ....he made his bed let him lie in it.
