I got MAYBE 4-5 hours of sleep for months on end to get my degrees. I worked, and still work my ass off to raise my kids. I am NOT rich, by any stretch. I am now flat ass broke after paying my taxes.
I sacrifice what I want and do what I NEED to for those I love.

Who the fuck are you to call me a classist? I busted my ass to get what I have, yet you sit there telling me I should give it away? No one gave me anything. I fucking earned every fuckin thing I have and I deserve it, and more as do my kids.

If you want something in life you gotta EARN it. It cannot be given to you. That fuckin asinine attitude DOES NOT WORK! Empowerment is the way, NOT entitlement.

kudos to you. I applaud your hard work. Really. And Merc's. Merc knows I'm serious because we are friends. Anyone, though, who continues to make excuses for the uber rich, and why they shouldn't pay more taxes, or why they deserve to be paid 500x the average worker, is a classist in my eyes. I didn't mean to offend you personally though. I don't believe ANYONE deserves that much more money, especially when some of those very people are the same people who brought the world economy to a screeching halt, and others have run their companies into the ground.
