    Most Americans don’t see themselves as workers, they see themselves as just some a main character who is only struggling due to a personal fault in a quick time event rather than corporate planed actions that worked with the government to enable that thinking in the first place.

      Why are you cheering, Fry? You’re not rich.

      True, but someday I might be rich. Then people like me better watch their step.

      You say “tax the rich” and they think you mean them because they made $100k last year. Nah you’re good! You could make 10x that and you’d still be good. I was talking about the people who make 450,000x that amount in a year.
