She doesn't have a problem with anyone being treated like that.
What the article is interested in, and what she had a problem with, is that people feel like they, and those more well off, are entitled to their amenities. They should be more aware of their luck and should consider how other people may have been unlucky, instead of dumb, lazy or evil.
- berrypicker 13y agoI definitely felt a sense of bitterness towards the rich: >But it’s too much to ask bankers to justify the bonuses they sucked off the public teat. >A culture that forbids employees from comparing salaries helps companies pay women and minorities less I don't understand these people who are hostile towards "bankers" and "big businesses" as they call them. Usually they seem to blame poverty to their wealth, and failure to their success. You may not become wealthy studying to be an accountant but you sure as shit will more likely have a stable career than somebody trying to make it in the arts. Yet the accountant is now the enemy. Somebody founds a company and it starts making a lot of money, suddenly he is responsible for everyone around him having no money. This is our generation, no wonder they call us entitled. I mean she even mentions the economic system being rigged but she can't see that it is precisely that which needs to change. Businesses and bankers are trying to make it, like everyone else. Don't complain about them then vote for Obama.
