10. When did an honest day's pay for an honest day's work become a BAD thing?

Due to some extreme emergencies, I almost hit six figures this year, but I worked (on average) 80 hours a week for six months. It was like I worked two full time jobs for half of last year. I did the work, I got paid for it. I worked my ass off. Why shouldn't I get paid for all of my extra time working? Am I supposed to donate my time so some corporate hack can skim even more off of the top? What stupid ass ideas these people get. PAY THE WORKER FOR THE WORK HE/SHE DOES!
