... hard fugging work, which is what I'm talking about.

Bill Gates didn't start out as a billionaire. He started out working his ass off, and built something out of nothing. The guys who started Starbucks probably did the same thing. They were working men then, now they're rich men. They can take care of themselves.

Maybe I should have said, "The working man" instead of "labor". If I used the wrong terminology, that's my bad.

The point is that once a guy acheives a certain level of success, he stops being a working man and starts being a rich man. And rich men act differently than working men.

And those who've inherited huge wealth act differently altogether. I'm saying we have to be on the side of the guy who is trying to make it, not the guy who has made it, even if once they were the same guy.
