I was retorting to "they earned it." Those of us who work but choose not to climb the corporate ladder and instead help others also earn our money. We just don't earn as much.

I have nothing against people who earn good money! In fact, I have some family members in that category. I just get tired of the old "if you worked harder you'd have more money" when I have worked hard my whole life (started working on a produce farm every summer at 13, and most of my adult life have carried a second job.) Can't you understand how hurtful that might feel?
