I re-read my post a few times and do not see where I put words in anyone's mouth other than what was said.
Here's what you said about your laid-back 'friends'.
"Some of them used to accuse me of being greedy when we went on strike too? They never went on strike. They just took what their employers offered them and didn't complain. And they acted happy to get that. Easy going kind of people. They thought the boss was their friends.
Didn't turned out as well as it planned for a lot of them though. A couple of recessions later during the Bush administration where the wealthy were able to steal their 401K retirement money and now they are crying the blues because they are flat broke.
Hope you have better luck than they did."
They are "crying the blues" and "flat broke" while apparently you are not. You fought for your good wages and secure retirement by going on strike, and thus "you've got yours". Unlike your foolish friends and foolish me who may end up in the same boat.
It's not dirty for me to tell you what I heard when you say something. If you meant something else, you can always explain what you meant.
