Too Many Americans are Slacking Off

Here data from CBO (Congressional Budget Office) showing that the bottom 99% of Americans are just plain not working hard enough. They are letting the upper crusties put in long hours and make more and more money. Obviously those in the bottom 99% will just have to pull up their socks and put in the hours to make their fair share of income.

I figure if the typical top 1% puts in a 32 hour week and makes 25 times as much as the "middle fifth" (i.e. those in the 40% to 60% range), then it just means that these middle fifth guys will have to put in 25 times the hours so they can get their "fair share". Let's see... that means an 800 hour work week! So quit slacking off, get out there and work, I mean "really work"!


Obviously the people in the bottom 20% are hogging all the leisure time. The poor upper 1% are working, working, working while the bottom 20% either claim unemployment or get those slack McJobs that leave them with too much time on their hands.


The result is that the top 1% are simply having to pick up the spare change that the bottom 99% just refuse to "earn". It is disgraceful to see how the bottom 99% have forced the rich to take an ever larger piece of the economic pie. Sadly the rich have to tie up their leisure hours going to $10,000 a plate charity "events" in an effort to find a way to get rid of all this excess foisted on them by their fellow citizens who simply refuse to put in the kind of effort at work that would give them a decent income!


Lately we've seen how desperate those top 1% guys have become. They've crashed the economy so that they could wipe out big chunks of their stock holdings just so they could adjust their books and no longer hold "all the chips".

The top 1% have gone from tanking the stock market to sabotaging the gears of industry and commerce in an effort to cut back on their accelerating income and wealth. We can only hope they can bring the economy to its knees and get rid of all those loose dollar bills and get us back to the good old days when a dollar was a dollar and it meant something.

I've always said, stop feeding the kids and they will learn to appreciate a good meal! The rich are just showing this kind of concern for the rest of us by collapsing the economy. When we all stop earning bucks, then having 25 times as much of nothing will feel just like have an average dose of nothing. The rich will have saved us from our foolish spendthrift ways. They will have brought us all back into the warm fold of the family where we can all quietly starve equally together.
