20. Feh, it's hard work being poor
I've been poor, I'm not now. It's just that the type of work changes. Frankly, I had to work a lot harder when I was not making much money.

It basically boils down to this: You can get paid for what you do, what you know or a combination of both. It's better to get paid for what you know and best to get paid for a combination.

Where the problem lies is that gaining knowledge to make your brain a more expensive commodity is vastly easier if you are a child of privilege. And if you're like the Chimp, there's nothing to do but sit back and let it all come to you.

Of course Chimp and his cohorts despise every sort of government program that has been instituted since that traitor to his class, Teddy Roosevelt, started busting trusts and had the gall to start the FDA.

Someone should tell this fuckface that:

the Serfs have always worked harder than the Aristocracy, AND

This nation was founded to reject the very class privileges that the Chimp has enjoyed his entire scumbag life.

To quote my 6 year old son: "George Bush is Poop."
