Title: Billionaire Sam Zell:We Just 'Work Harder"
Post by: LadyVirginia on March 23, 2014, 04:24:35 PM
Rather than criticize the one percent, Zell argued, people ought to emulate their work ethic.

"The one percent work harder, the one percent are much bigger factors in all forms of our society," he said.

Some of them do, and should be emulated.  Some others are just crony "capitalist" rent-seekers.

Wait...somebody doesn't understand that a job is the tool of the imperialist to effect obedience to the capitalist oligarchs at the expense of the enlightenment and happiness of the proletariat that can only be achieved by political officers in the Democrat (Peoples) Party that professes to be the party of jobs in order to fool the oligarchs while policies are brought to bear that destroy jobs and unshackle the proletariat from the capitalists so that they can be more easily guided by the wise and benevolent progressive ruling elite who know exactly what kind of enlightenment the masses require.  It is also essential that bonds between parent and child, religious leader and congregation be broken...that all old moralities must be rendered asunder to attain true progressive Nirvana.

Got it?!

That is the sad truth. Our political system has been so corrupted, that the very rich and the politicians have a symbiotic existence.

At the very least, the capitalist will always do what is legal to further his own self-interest. When the politicians make corruption legal, the whole system is corrupted.
