Class warfare and envy
The 1% say any time we talk about income inequality or unfairness, we're just envious.
Envious? Hell yeah, I'm envious.
I got up at 1:30 this morning.
I dressed in darkness, packed my breakfast and lunch, and went to work.
I worked from 2 AM to 12:30 PM. I drove 350 miles and moved freight weighing between 3 oz and 250 lbs per piece. Without mechanical aid.
I will spend my afternoon writing a novel to increase my family's income, or working on my fledgling publishing company, also to increase my income, or crocheting stuff for my etsy shop.
I'll make dinner for my family and go to bed hours before any of them even think of it, for about 6 hours of sleep, if I am very lucky.
And by three o'clock this afternoon, Mittens Romney, simply by breathing in and out (and by virtue of the fact his daddy left him a pile from AMC), will have made as much money as I will make all year.
DAMN RIGHT I'M ENVIOUS!
