Reply #176: No. NO. They should NOT be grateful. [View All]

Any more than any of the rest of us should be grateful for our losses.

The only people who have made no sacrifices are the filthy rich--who are getting ever filthier and richer every day, so much so that they can easily buy the political class (who are by and large richer than you and me and any federal office drone, but still susceptible).

I mean, you bet I envy federal workers their health insurance. Oh hell yeah. But I don't want to take what they have away from them, and I don't want to try to silence them when they object to things being taken away from them. They're working people like you and me. They earn their money by doing useful jobs, not by playing Casino Royale games with other people's theoretical money.

Do you really think that anyone with a yearly living wage and health care should just shut up and be grateful? That really is a race to the bottom, and it's not good for any kind of worker to indulge in that kind of catfighting.
