I've read/heard pimps interviews on HBO use this comparison.
You're working & someone, you see the salary.....but the govt takes a cut of your money off the top. You can make millions for ur company in your everyday job, and they pay you a fraction of that. And they'll get rid of you when/if they want.
The govt and corporations are theoretically pimping everyday people. While a pimp considers himself to be above that because he has no boss, doesn't pay taxes etc.
So theoretically it's true, but obviously it's an EXTREME example for pimps to justify what they do, which I think is a heartless/shytty job.....but then again, corporations are heartless/shytty towards employees every day. Soooo....
