It’s Amazing How Shameful Some Folks Can Be
This afternoon, Gruber tweeted about this article from a writer I'd never heard of. I decided to read it and was stunned by the complete and utter lack of understanding about the human condition displayed by the writer.
He said:
David Brooks: Yes. I was going to say that for the first time in human history, rich people work longer hours than middle class or poor people. How do you construct a rich versus poor narrative when the rich are more industrious?
I mean really? To think that the rich actually work harder than the poor? What planet is this guy on? Clearly, he's never worked manual labor on a construction site. I've done that. Not even close, baby.
Thankfully, he's shown to be the ridiculous idiot he clearly is. But still... this is the kind of slop that gets the Republicans voting for Sarah Palin. Yikes.
