    Yes, we’re just passing a bunch of money around at the top.

    It’s why I almost never take Americans seriously when they say they ‘need’ more money. They don’t know what that word means, or what hard work really is.

      Oh really? Americans don’t ever need more money? How about these Americans? They’re doing fine on whatever they can panhandle from people leaving the Walmart parking lot and dumpster food?

      Oh… and some of those people? Full-time employed.

        Looks like they’re living in a major city.

        Supply and demand.

        They can leave and their money will go way further. The problem is, a lot of people living in major cities feel they’re entitled to do so.

        Yeah. That’s definitely working harder than most people have throughout history for less.

        My bad.

        the first 5 of which never took off, but also consistently failed to drive me into bankruptcy.

        Lol, don’t blame your failed business ventures on me. If you think ‘hard work’ is all it takes to make a successful business, I’m sorry, that’s just a testament to why 5 of your businesses failed.

        and I’m finally not having to work 18 hour days 7 days a week.

        Let me guess, you’re also living a higher quality of life than the vast majority of people ever to live while working considerably less. And here you are, still finding ways to complain.

        Please take your complaints to the people subsistence farming or picking through landfills for a living. All your post does is prove my point that you don’t understand what hard work really is, or what the word need really means.
