    I can only really speak from experience. I started out washing dishes at a restaurant and bottling beer at a factory. I saved up enough to buy a computer and learned to code. I woke up early every morning and studied hard to get where I am. now I make a really good living and am still working really hard because I am passionate about the work I do. I feel like I’m being robbed when I’m forced to take care of others that didn’t work as hard as I did to get where I am today. I totally agree that there are some people that work hard and are not paid well while some people are over paid and that isn’t cool. Capitalists should take care of the people that make them wealthy if they want to hold on to their wealth.
