Recovering Wall Street Employee Speaks Out about the "1%"

[Egalitarian Thug]

30. You really don't get it, or really don't want to get it.

There is a class war. The rich have waged it forever, but this latest push began in the 70s, took hold in the 80s and the endgame was finished under and with the help of Clinton in the 90s.

Your doctor made a choice (likely a series of choices) to be a wage slave. Every member of the gatekeeper class made the choice, and now that the war they chose to engage in is hurting them, they want sympathy and to be accepted by the rest of us because it isn't going the way they thought it would. Well, that's the price the gatekeepers pay. They die defending the gates so that their masters have time to get away.

I can assure you that your list of 1%ers by salary would not surprise me in the least. Some of them are the knowledgeable and weak, but the overwhelming majority are the useless exploiters, those that have reaped great rewards by helping the bigger parasites to steal from those below them. There is no conspiracy, you're the only one that has brought up the new DU bugaboo, It is simply a matter of choice. We've all made them and we all must live with them.

In the end, nothing you have written addresses the issue raised, that being that some of us have choices and others have few or none. Let's be honest enough to avoid trying to draw a false equivalency between the two,
