You are dead wrong bud.
Do you really think the richest men in the world are also the hardest working men in the world?
I used to work in a warehouse for years and I worked incredibly hard to the point of complete physical exhaustion at times...what did I get? Barely enough money for rent
Other people make a few phone calls, sip on some coffee, correct their tie and cash over 100k a year..why? Because they went to Harvard on their rich parents money..
Stop and think about what you say, in this country, working hard has very little to do with how much money you make. I've lived in a socialist country (Sweden) for a big part of my life, and I can tell you it works amazingly well, everyone was middle class and above. Great comfortabe life, an ensured "American Dream" no matter what job you have..
BTW just out of curiosity cookie, how old are you? and what jobs (if any) have you had?
