And those masses have failed to vote in such a way as to address the long-term issues facing them. At this point, we pretty much have to do whatever we can to get out ahead--so, let's all try to get higher salaries...least of all because whatever work we do is pretty much directly what enables the shafting and monetization of those masses, and once we too hit the bread lines they aren't going to be trying to help us one bit. EDIT: I'm not saying let's go smoke cigars and blare "Kill the Poor" out of our Teslas--I'm saying that, at this point, we need to optimize for our sector of the working class. Denying ourselves the chance at higher wages because other people are getting screwed only means we're going to get caught up in the machine too.
