For the record, almost nothing I said had anything to do with this, I was just raging on the fact of rich people getting richer.
Glad the lucky few have it so easy. If he had enough money to start his own company than he wasn’t in any position to complain. We have to work every day to not have everything we own torn out from under us, be in that position and then say, “Oh no you just work your *edited* off and then everything is fine”. Bull*edited* again, you’re family is not mine, is not anyone elses. I am happy that your dad was able to have the know how, will power, e-peen size, whatever, to start his own company and get something done. Six years ago my Dad still had a job didn’t have to worry about *edited* and the economy was not in the state it currently is in. Defend rich people all you want, but until I see CEOs that make 600% more than their employees working on the front lines I don’t give two *edited*s about them.
I honestly don’t think we live in a country anymore where you can “Work your *edited* off and be fine”. I work my *edited* off for 10/hr too because I have no choice, just because I don’t get to control my salary doesn’t mean I am working any less hard than your dad did 6 years ago. What he probably had that both I and my father lack was a reserve of money, and the knowledge of something to put it into to create his own business. I don’t know if your Dad is a greedy*edited*, how many houses does he have, how many vacations does he take, how many things does he own that are considered luxuries? Answer these questions and you will have your answer. Hit me with the classic republican response of he made it so he can do what he wants with it and I will say, yeah point proven he is a greedy *edited*. Because what I would want to do with my wealth is make sure I am taken care of, I don’t need a lot. Notice I said need, I made spoil myself a bit but everything else I had would go into charities, scholarships, things like this. Your Dad might do that and that is great if he does, but one guy doing it doesn’t make a difference.
I don’t blame rich people for high student loans, I also don’t blame rich people or the banks for the price of going to college, it obviously is not their fault. However when you have the board and CEO of a company making 600% more than their employees that tells me that they are probably paying their employees about 10/hr. Why, is that? What did the CEO do to gain that? Oh he created jobs you say? So why is America in it’s highest state of unemployment since the depression, but CEOs continue to get richer? Why do banks like Bank of America receive money from the American people and then go out and BUY *edited* THEY DON’t *edited*ING NEED AND PAY THEIR CEOs MORE *edited*ING MONEY! This is what I rage about. So yes I can blame the rich people and the banks for some things, and these are the things I blame them for.
