Reply #8: People who work the hardest in this country get terrible pay

[Warpy]

People who do the most essential work--taking care of kids or the elderly, teaching, working in hospitals or food service--often get the worst pay of all.

People who wear suits and sit in air conditioned comfort and keep their hands clean--bankers, stock brokers, upper management--are rewarded most handsomely.

Hard work doesn't pay, often not enough to live on. Soft work pays very well, well enough to buy the government.

Until hard work pays a living wage and soft work pays too little to buy the government, this country will continue to suck for most of us.
