Politicians are a fantastic example of that Alejo. All on 6 figure salaries, sitting around whinging how some other form of management has just had a pay rise.

To be fair, in Britain anyway, the vast majority of politicians don't earn 6 figure salaries, but would be if they worked in the private sector.

Over here our politicians earn, on average, just over 100k. With the PM on about 400k I think. And when the mangement of our Power Company, who runs all the smaller power companies, got an alround pay rise, these guys were the first to have a cry.

Yet when these politicians got their 30000 dollar xmas bonus, they were all very low key about it.

Politician in hypocrisy shocker. Although that is some serious dollar ding those boys are pulling in as well.

Unfortunately, their moaning and whining about the injustice is only there to try and furtively grab some more of those lovely votes. Mmmmm. Votes.

Yeah, and some scabby current affairs presenter thinks she's worth more than 450k.

Personally I never consider it, I'm happy where I am at the moment.You don't need money to be happy.Anyone who says otherwise needs a headcheck,

But then poor people will always say that

Yeah the middle class who thinks their upper crust.

I don't hate them for being mean, I hate them for having children. I'll explain.

I work in one of the most affluent cities in the country. It's Brookline, Ma if you want to do the research. I work in a frame shop. People bring in their art and we look at it, tell them what they need to do (or how we can resote it) and do the dirty work and they pay boatloads of cash.

The people who earned the money will just pay us to do it. Their rebelious artsy kids who do their own painting and sculptures (which universally suck) who've never worked for anything ever, walk around like they've had a frontal lobotomy or are on valium, they bother me.

One asked me "where do I get one of those things that you put nails in with?"

The saddest part of that conversation was that she wasn't refering to a hammer...I know, its ok to cry. They have14 million in the bank.

I'm in the same boat. I actually ran into that boss a year ago and I couldn't talk to him without smirking, he is still in the same job. What a maroon, he was a jerk too
