Oh, I like response. I just don't want to get yelled at by a moderator. Did you take a class on sanctimony? Virtue signaling? Judgment? You have certainly mastered those three lies.
I threw the Shelby Cobra in just for you. That punched landed. If you could only see me giggling over the class envy you unwittingly exposed. "Wrong" my friend is not an argument. Merely the assertion you believe me wrong. You do not, apparently know people many CC members, cuz that is not how we act-although I am no longer in a CC because my back cannot play golf anymore.
Every society in mankind's history has been ordered by class. Really sucks for the Untouchables, right? Be a Quigher in CCP China, you'll start to get the point. People are always driven by more financial security and more leisure-or most people anyway. Few people decline a raise or a promotion. Not just in the land of silver dollar but everywhere through all of time. You are the outlier, not within the norm of human behavior. But again, I don't care. I figure each person should decide their own lifestyles, at least to the point it doesn't violate my rights. Wearing cheap clothes, driving cheap used cars, and think of anywhere in Iowa as a vacation location is fine if that is what you want.
I've said this four times, and you seem to ignore it: neither I nor most of the white-collar class make moral judgments about the person or that person's choice of priorities. They are people, the same as me. They are essential to my existence because I don't know how to change the oil in my car, or plumbing, etc... Defining someone by class, like the quintiles of tax distribution is not the same as judging them by class. That is an important distinction you should probably deeply consider. You might be less angry and judgmental.

You seem like the type of guy who's always gotten his way. And it shows.
Yuck.
Somewhat true. But it wasn't all given to me. I've had to fight against immediate competitors for most of what I have. Trial lawyer-win, get paid; lose, don't get paid. Nothing was given to me in politics, I had to win the nastiest of intraparty elections. But I won them, especially given the significantly disparate policy distinctions I had with most Republican Leadership. But I know I was lucky and privileged growing up, but that's why Mike the Greek did all the things he did, so his family would prosper when he was gone. That strikes me as exactly what men should do. Indeed, supporting your family as best you can and for as long as one can is essential to the definition of a "man" and not a boy or a slug deadbeat.
Last but not least, "yuck"? That's grade school level. However, it certainly sums the quality of your repartee.
Listen buddy, you've got some real self-esteem issues to resolve, and I don't want to be your therapist. So you do you and I'll do me. Maybe you lay off Lennon's "Working Class Hero" and listen to something fun, like Cajun or Zydeco. Go enjoy a nice big 32 Oz serving of Iowa Black Angus cooked by someone who actually cooks steaks for a living. That surely beats the humdrum of every day. Give yourself a short vacation from angst.
