    Listen, I think I get your point, that even high earners are wage slaves. Doctors and lawyers exit college with decades of debt.

    But you can’t say it was never about how much you earn. Some people, and I’ve been in this spot, can’t buy groceries. High earning wage slaves will have decades of debt, but food isn’t an issue.

      Bullshit. Last job I had before being layed off years ago was better than most and now two years later. After crushing medical bills, and the increase in EVERYTHING , we have months where food was low.

      I spent more time forgaing than shopping the last three months because food is too fucking expensive. I’m glad I grew up even poorer or we would have been in an even worst place for my family. Most don’t though

      Thses sweeping statements show the real issue.

      Your fighting from the viewpoint that people who worked hard to get even a little out of poverty are at fault

      It’s the government and ceos who are. So stop fighting those fighting your same battles.

      Live beyond our means. What dumb statement. Food. rent. Every nickel and dime hidden charge from every ducking corp, health insurance, car insurance home insurance, unfair taxation aimed at keeping anyone not mega rich in shackles …

      Means. We don’t have means. We have allowances.

      Yeah.
