>Why won't poor people just work harder?

Because they can lobby their politicians to confiscate your wealth for the purposes of redistributing it to them. Naturally, this leaves you with less money, forcing you to work longer hours.

In essence, they have the political power to make YOU worker harder for THEM. Why the hell should they have to do anything, when all they have to do is show up at the voting machine at election time?

Voting is the one thing they do right. They aren't morons. They are VERY adept at making your money work for them.

Poor people do work the hardest. It's the lazy bourgeoisie which does nothing. CEOs earn 300x as much as the lowest paid employees in their company. Nobody works that much.

Work isn't a good thing anyway. The sooner we automate everything the better.

I'm not saying "don't work". The problem with our society is that working twice as hard as someone else will get you... Maybe 1.1x as much. If you're *lucky*. Sometimes you might even get punished for it. Some of the richest, most "successful" and powerful people on this planet have done effectively nothing to earn that. Not much different to an ordinary man or woman, at least.

Don't get me wrong, hard work is useful, but it's not the paramount factor to success. A lot of the time it's a necessary component or at least improves your chances, but it's not *the* component. On its own, it is barely more than worthless.

Why don't poor people just inherit more money?
>>
>>81339562
Because employers don't actually pay more based on merit and your wages are effectively capped either way. Plus employers often try to actively avoid letting workers work overtime.

So you could work twice as hard and maybe if you are lucky you will earn an extra 2 dollars and hour in a few years.
>>
>>81344787

Pretty much. It's not like the golden days anymore where working hard would actually give you something to show for it. Employees having too much power over employers isn't the best state of affairs, but the pendulum has swung way too far the other away.
>>
>>81339562
Work smarter.
If you're poor spend less, save more, and learn how to earn more.
It's not easy, but if you want to pull yourself up it's possible. (Unless you live in a socialist shithole)

When I was in grade school Levis were the only pants to wear. My parents explained that we operated on a Wranglers or Lees budget and if I wanted Levis I should go get a job.
So I shoveled snow and schlepped newspapers and made my own cash. I still work for myself. Feels good, man.
Welfare/nanny states do people a huge disservice by robbing them of the joy of putting their own hard-earned cash into their own pockets.
