Now it's interesting. On the one hand we have the American dream of moving to the big city, making it big and successfully living happily ever after. All the nice stories of the student programmer who got rich off his bright idea, the actress from the country who got discovered and made it big. Apparently then they instantly become evil evil fatcats and now all their money should be taken away because they're exploiting everyone else.



Hmmmmmmm.

You are not a liberal, you are just stupid.
 
How comes when a Republican negotiates what the market will bear for their goods and services they call it entreprenuership (sp?) and free enterprise but when working people, artisans, tradesmen and professionals try to do so they call it envy, socialism and class warfare?

Working people who want to get rich work hard and rise sucessfully and become managers etc. The people who are engaging in class warfare just complain that they're not rich, how life is unfair and sue the company for anything they can think of.

We'd like to see more of the first and less of the second, and in reality so would the companies because the first group becomes an asset that they will protect while the second group is just a waste of space that they can't fire because the unions will attack them.

What about the ones who just want to work hard and negotiate what the market will bear for their services? Why do only the elite "managers" get that right? Why the double standard?

As a professional I say "Fuck Managers" most of them are bean counters who utterly lack imagination and contribute little to productivity. It's usually the professionals and skilled tradesmen who do the lions share of producing. How far do you think those folks would get with out the smart people who get things done?

Americans are the hardest workers in the world. Stop being a shill.

I don't know about the hardest working but they are certainly the most productive workers in the world. How hard some one works is irrelevent. Some bumpkin can work himself to an early grave shoveling pigshit but at the end of the day they only shoveled some pigshit. It's what they produce with their labor that counts. Be that as it may. All people have the right in this nation to negotiate what the market will bear for their goods and services. Not just the elite few.

It's this opposition Republicans have to all people having this right which illustrates another fine example of Repelicans being all for freedom and liberty until someone actually practices them.

I don't have any problem with a entrepreneur or capitalist charging what the market will bear from their ideas and productivity. What I oppose, as a professional, is one of them telling me I can't do that because I'm not one of them.

Research it. What I said was a fact, americans work longer hours than any other devoloped nation.
It pisses me off when some cynical naive 20 something says americans need to work harder.
