You have complained many times about corporate Amserica and what they make compared to you and how hard you work.
They found the winning formula, you did not.
What? I do work hard and no, I don't think the American worker justly compensated, nor are they able to prosper and "work their way up", and this entirely because of the disconnect with corporate culture. We're sick to death of taking hits when the economy tanks, but mysteriously, the already uber wealthy get even richer, still get their bonuses, keep their jobs though they tank the company. Who is the first to be let go in these times? The front line wage slave, that's who. The inequality in pay structure and income will sink this economy if it is not dealt with. That, my friend is not envy. It is pure fact. What are the rich going to do when they have no one left to shoulder the tax burden, hmm? They don't pay the same percentage in taxes that I pay... and corporations don't pay anything at all if they can. We're running out of money to keep the rich, well... rich. See where this is going?
If the winning formula is greed and the destruction of the middle class and opportunity, then I am glad I did not find it. I'd rather have a soul.
I posted my story here before.
I live in Michigan and was struggeling for some time. Michigan has had a terrible economy. I was a real estate agent, and when that didn't work I got a job in a department store selling ties and shirts.
I took a job doing door to door sales on commission only. Two years ago, I got very nervous buying lettuce at the grocery store, and my wife and I were broke.
I started my own business doing door to door sales. I employ a number of people, and my income for 2009, was about 12 times, that of 2007.
Also, for 2009, my taxes are more than double my entire income in 2007.
So no it's not impossible.
You shouldn't envy people who are doing better than you, they should be an inspiration that you can do it too, unless YOU decide you can't.
