Yea yea yea, but you probably also worked in a company that happened to reward you financially and that you happened to escape the financial crisis unscathed. Chris Crawford would work more than 20 hours day if he could. Phil Forrest went to Iraq to fight for our asses. The homeless person who wants to go to MacDonald may not have a home. I can go on.. The system is game against the poor. Some people got lucky and win lotteries and than think it's all their hard work. And so it goes.
