Ahhhh... work hard, live well? Just a thought ;-)

No offense, but I think it's time to come off of your condescending
high horse.

Hope this helps.

Most folks that think they are worth unearned money feel the same way. You
one of them?

There's nothing condescending about my attitude ----- in fact, it's one that
more should assume. We're living in a society that hasn't a clue about
*value*. You don't think so? Explain to me in terms that I can
understand why it is that virtually all of our industries have left for
greener pastures. You can debate all day long the concept that they are
greedy, but the truth is if we want to have jobs in this country, we must
compete in a world market. Demanding more pay when your employer is giving
serious consideration to sending his orders for widgets to a different
country, where he can obtain them without putting up with whining employees
that see themselves as hard put upon because the boss expects them to
actually show up and be productive is a good way to accelerate the process,
and who can blame them?

I can't speak for you, but when I was employed (I worked for myself for
years, because I wasn't pleased with the inequities of employers) I worked
my ass off for the boss. He got everything from me that he bargained for.
I showed up, did my day's work, and there was no concern about anything else
but that. Expecting that today appears to be unreasonable. I don't like
people that think they can ride free on society. Maybe you haven't
figured it out yet-------but it's true----there is no free lunch.
