don't tell me to come to grips with a new reality.

and i mean when people who make lots of money tell those making far less these things, telling workers of all stripes who make far less than they do --telling them to tighten their belts, telling them they have it (in so many words) too good or whatever.

one has to be acting in a hypocritical way to do this and make no mistake, it's not just one person doing this, it's lots.

don't let them. call them out on their hypocrisy.

if 1/8th the money in salary needs to come to grips with reality and the person saying it, what they are effectively saying is, you make too much, but i don't. i need/deserve/hell, i'll get more.

don't fall for the head-fake.

1. I'd love to tighten my belt around the necks of these Wall St. fuckers.
I'd feel a lot better about that sacrifice! :evilgrin:
