Whenever I read "shared sacrifice", no matter where (I notice all over the net I am reading little homilies that sound churned out by the hundred, about how the poster is living on SS but will be happy to tighten their belt for the good of the country), it makes me want to throw things.
Let the people who shared in the concentration of wealth tighten one of their belts.

(12,414 posts)9. I design and build homes for many very wealthy 1%ers
and, at times, sense that the just compensation for my hard work is to be seen as a "gift".
I have learned to recognize these types of people and have adjusted my compensation skyward for them.
