(14 posts)not everyone who works a desk job is lavished with the "best food and medical care" or are the "soft pink men" you describe. Though yes the air conditioning in the summer is nice.
Seriously, most of us are the 99% as well. And as much as you worry about the toll physical work takes on you, I honestly wonder if I will be able to maintain the mental agility needed to do my job until the current age of eligibility. Mentally speaking, I do heavy lifting and it takes a toll.
Point being there's really no need to draw a line between those who "shower in the morning and those who shower at night" (as Ed Schultz would put it) when there are nefarious forces in this country who would deny both you and I the dignified golden years that my parents and grand-parents were allowed. All so said greed bastards can have a bit more.
Oh - and how would I feel if the rules of the game are changed ? Like I paid a $1000 to see the Sex Pistols in San Fransisco back in '78. That's the show where they played one song and Johnny Rotten says "Ever get the feeling you've been cheated?"
