not to mention that the strongest and hardest working are usually the downtrodden that people like O'Reilly like to look down upon, when they're not taking advantage of them to get rich .
Does anyone, even those of you living in San Francisco, believe that an American who earns a Ph.D. in economics is going to be equal to the high school dropout in the marketplace?
Equal in earning power? Well, no. But equal in terms of deserving safe and affordable housing, healthcare, food, and a living wage?
hdu if you want housing, healthcare, food and a living wage you must BOOTSTRAPS. Or you are guilty of librul SOSHULIZM like some communo-nazi fascist. Also: Jesus and guns.

1) Rich people fuck and marry other rich people ONLY* and are blatantly working to take more, and more, and more money away from everyone else because all they care about is money. We should "work harder" ie "stay busy doing meaningless things (that make our BOSSES more rich while we live paycheck to paycheck) while they continue to screech PAY NO ATTENTION TO THE MAN BEHIND THE CURTAIN

Yes, I know, I'm missing some caveats, like "Not all Type A personalities are sociopaths" but there are a LOT of Type A personalities in business, usually at the tops of corporations, and those ones certainly are. I'd say they missed their calling as serial killers, but they probably do that on weekends, and either way they can inflict pain and suffering, which is their preferred thing to do.
Maybe you should give a fuck because if the dollar collapses the white straight men that you're railing at will continue to survive and get by just fine, while those earning at or near the poverty level will take the brunt of it.
But, just to pull numbers out of my ass if a federal government employee grosses 30k a year, and pays 10k in federal taxes, the government is still out 20k a year on that employee. That's why private sector job growth is MUCH more important in terms of economic growth.
I understand that. But it's not like public sector jobs aren't necessary and underfunded and really, I don't think it's harmful to work on expanding both, because the public sector supports the private sector. I'm just over people acting as though public sector jobs have no place in our society and that it's wasteful spending to enhance them.

Right. Because institutionalized racism, sexism, homophobia etc., other factors that influence success are not real.
