The base tactic of the Marxist leftists and community organizers is to play on the most vulnerable human emotions, envy and jealousy in order to create class and race resentment and separation.
What the media helps hide from the uninformed is that no progress is ever made on behalf of the less wealthy by taking from those who have been successful. The real irony is how the grossly overinflated compensation of network news readers, education administrators, union bosses, entertainers and athletes never enter the conversation. It's always just Wall Street and Oil Execs that are used as whipping boys.
I have never envied what Wall Street execs/workers do everyday...never.
Their job would make me crazy, depressed, and I would probably take up drinking.
That said, I think they earn their money. They do a job that I couldn’t do and don’t want to do, BUT if I CHOSE to do it, I could...and make the money they make.
And yes,there are thieves and liars among them, but that is true of ANY profession; there are bad apples everywhere, that’s part of life for goodness sake!
OTOH, reporters, “journolists”, and sad to say teachers, are jobs that are way over paid. (I just heard a teacher screamimg somehwere)...they make themselves and their profession to be the first rung of sainthood...a job that requires you to be better than and above the rest of us...sure. Right.
DO NOT EVEN get me started on TEACHERS...I am old enough to remember real teachers AND I also remember when they started striking every August; I experienced my first strike at 6 years old...and I NEVER FORGOT it...it’s the main reason I am a Conservative today!
