Ah, redditors. Shitting on the common worker. You never disappoint. Congratulations, for a moment you made me think I was in a Fox News forum.

And then you wonder why the american worker is being assfucked? because the very same worker will shit on other workers when they fight for their rights.

Is the American worker being assfucked? Or is GDP per capita the highest it's ever been? There has literally never been a better period in history to be alive as far as standard of living goes, and you Luddites complain. I'm so sick of these Luddites spouting the same old protectionist drivel.

It takes no skill or formal learning to flip a burger. It takes skill and knowledge to build refrigeration systems and maintain them. Why the hell should burger flippers get paid as much as someone starting out as an apprentice in a field that requires specialized knowledge? That's bullshit. If fast food workers get 15/hr then my pay should be higher due to the amount of time I've invested into it and built upon it.

Ah, that typical mindset. Never cease to shock me. Why they deserve better? Don't you think you deserve better too? better working conditions? paid vacations? better protections against unlawful termination? sick leave? Why do you shit on them because you're being shafted too?

Of course not. You were brainwashed like those who still believe in trickle down economics, for example. I know Reddit is full of libertarian college kids, but daaaaaamn.

The thing is I am not being shafted. I have all of the things you listed and more, including retirement plan, top tier health plan, profit sharing and stock options. I got these things because I made education a priority, didn't start a family before I could afford it, made responsible financial choices, and acquired and honed marketable skills that companies are willing to pay a high salary for. I earned these things by making responsible choices. Why should irresponsible people with no skills be rewarded simply for drawing breath?

You have no clue why this people are in that situation. You have no clue about the economic and social situation a lot of poor people live. You have no clue about many things. For example, you still think that people in poverty are that way because they want to. Not because they never had access to good education. You think people work there because they want to or are lazy. You're one of those who think every homeless person out there is a lazy bum.

Worst of all, you still have all of that things, and think everything is thanks to you, with no idea how your skin colour, socio-economic upright influenced it.

I hate, I really hate people like you, with zero empathy for this people, who never had a chance. You must be one of those assholes who still believe in that american dream crap. I've mine, fuck everybody else.

That individualism so pervasive, not only in your country, but in plenty of others is disgusting.

Fuck this site, and fuck people like you. I hope one day you lose your job and end in the street, that will teach you some fucking empathy.
