OK, and see... I'm not "complaining."

I'm pointing out that the extremely rich have stacked the deck and played the system and bought the politicians and kept it so the Walton family, worth more than 100 Billion between the five them, can get away with paying their employees so poorly that you have to subsidize their income with food stamps with your taxes. Those are people who work hard... working honestly and trying to make a living.

Don't say they should work harder and get better jobs... the system doesn't work like that and you know it. There has to be a small number of people on the top of the pyramid but that does NOT mean that you get to gleefully shit on those below you.

I know what you mean. I'm so lazy, my 60-72 hours of work every week nets me about $65000 a year. If only I wasnt so lazy, I might reach $100,000 one day.

And you're one of the luckier ones. The average household income is about$50,000.

In 2006, 1.93% of all households had annual incomes exceeding $250,000. 12.3% fell below the federal poverty threshold and the bottom 20% earned less than $19,178. The aggregate income distribution is highly concentrated towards the top, with the top 6.37% earning roughly one third of all income.

I am lucky. 1) to have a job, 2) to have great benefits, and 3) to be able to work anywhere between 4-8 days of overtime a month. Without it, my yearly salary drops to around $44,000.

I mean... I don't really work "overtime" because my income comes from working on a bunch of different projects all at once. I direct my movies and do the odd freelance gig like directing commercials and right now I'm editing a zombie TV series. I have my blog network and my tube site and I'm part owner of a small studio and do all sorts of other odd jobs that add up to my total income but aside from my officially part-time position with the main studio I direct for, I don't really have a "job." I have multiple sources of income.

But yeah... I'm working an average of about 14 hours a day pretty much 6 days a week and the 7th probably about 6-7. I don't get much time off because I don't have the time to take. But I knew what I was signing up for and yay for me.

But most people wouldn't have the options I do. And that doesn't make me any better than anyone else.
