You're suggesting they pull themselves up by their bootstraps. Put on some boots and try to pull yourself up by your bootstraps. Let me know your vertical.

- logfromblammo 8y agoWhat boots? I can only afford flip-flops. Try pulling on those straps, and see what happens. Not only are you still not upright, but you just ruined your shoes, and have to pay yet another $3 to replace them.
- pc86 8y agoI suggesting that maybe, just maybe hard work might play a role in things. If someone doesn't want to work hard for 800 euro because they can get 400 euro for nothing, do they have the mindset and drive necessary to become wealthy in today's economy?
- gaius 8y agoIt’s not 800 Eur all other things being equal, it also incurs additional expenses. There’s the rub.
- atlantic 8y agoSo you're saying that the labour force of entire countries in the Mediterranean region (Portugal, Spain, Greece) suffers from lack of mindset and drive, and that explains the low salaries they suffer from right across the board. Interesting. Perhaps you might want to come over and straighten them out. White man's burden and all that.
