That sounds familiar. Where have I heard it before?
It apparently is a common experience for the middle class worker - perhaps you heard it from some 40 or 50 year old middle class drone? Some escape the experience, I wish I had - but I do emphasize with them - they are being screwed by the owner class, as the owner's take advantage of the their usually inherited positions to plunder the worker class of their activity, ingenuity, and productivity. It is time to push back, to gain some equity in what we produce.
