I think one of the best examples of this i've ever experienced was back when the occupy protests were going on. I was landscaping then, we were at a customer's house that owned a bunch of recycling centers, they were fairly wealthy. For reference, they had a dog born without the ability to control its asshole, they spent more every year on keeping the dog alive, than I spent on four years of school...but anyway...
They had a son around my age. I'd see him every once in a while, he had no job and hung out at home most of the time(he brought us out some organic Okanagan peaches one time, they were pretty awesome). One day though him and his dad came out, his dad was about to drive him downtown so he could spend a week at the occupy protests. He came over to tell us how he was going to go fight the 1%.
I think he totally missed the irony in the fact that his rich business owner dad was driving him out to do this, while a bunch of people his age had spent the last month or so building a garden for him while he sat inside doing nothing for most of that month. Personally, i was unable to partake in any occupy protests...as i was working to continue to have a home and food and such. Well, at least his garden was looking nice for him by the time he got back from fighting for me.
