As an American entrepreneur I've run a small business for nearly ten years, over that time earning nearly a quarter of a million dollars (yeah, not quite Facebook). I've observed that my income closely tracks a Fed metric having to do with disposable income of working class citizens (almost perfectly tracks a metric of increases/decreases in that labor share) As such I'm finding your attitude impractical. Why do I, as a business owner, care whether you personally think some third person is a try-hard eager beaver? If you yourself don't want to work, you should indeed leave. I'm not at all sure you understand the math of this. Personally, I'm all for the poorer classes having spending money, because as near as I can work out, sometimes they will spend it on me. When they starve, I starve. No amount of exceptionalism will change that simple fact, and if you're honest about the math you see that the whole point is getting rid of 'a few strong tentpoles'. Those guys are distorting the system and SHOULD leave. Celebrating them is a fool's game.
