They usually tank their own companies
Definitly not earning their keep are they?
Who do you think was working harder to earn their keep Lyle,the three miners who died in a Massey Mine last year?
Or the guy living in a tawney Washington suburb that made the decision not to set up the oxygen stations that would have saved their lives?
The guys who CHOSE to be miners of course...they did choose that line of work didn't they Sure they probably didn't go to the finest grade schools or college if they even went to college but they weren't forced to work in a mine, no one held a gun to anybody's head...they know what could happen to them every single day they go down there. So someone cut corners with oxygen tanks...Miners have leverage because they do the leg work and they have the unions to get oxygen tanks put in.

bcollins failure is necessary ...without failure you never learn, without failure you gain nothing from success, without failure there is no such thing as hard work.

The American Dream isn't just for poor people buddy

The deck is stacked against the common man haha....and I suppose in communism and socialism then everyone does great. With that attitude you might as well just quit life, you're defeated, you've lost...game is over.

The American Dream isn't achieved over night...I will work for years and years accomplishing small goals and then accomplishing larger goals.

I'm not putting my fate in anyone else's hands...I control my own destiny...I could give a damn about some white collar guy doing whatever he's paid to do....maybe someday I'll be in that position. Those guys work hard, I've seen them, it's just a different type of work. Not everyone is some airhead who plays on the computer all day wasting money...those guys get what's coming to them in the end as well.
