(4,616 posts)Because those who make 100K a year look down on those who make 50k a year as slackers not working hard enough and those that make 50K look at those who make 35K as slackers not working hard enough, and those who make 35K a year (which is the average salary in the good old US) look down on those who make minimum wage as slackers not working hard enough. And everyone in between, rinse and repeat. Meanwhile, the billionaires have that entire chain convinced they are are the "real hard workers" and doing well, it's just all those whining slackers down the line that are the problem. And as soon as a first term junior democratic senator, (as well as a republican one) enters the senate with a net worth of 32K and a year later is worth over 1mil. Well, rinse and repeat.
