"The working man is a sucker".....what's The Colis take on this?

[BelowTheMasonDixon]

GOAT TIER MOVIE SCENE

C "He Made Micky Mantle cry"
Sonny "Mickey Mantle? That's what you're upset about?", Mantle makes $100,000 a year. How much does your father make? If your father can't pay the rent go ask Mickey Mantle and see what what he tells you. Mickey Mantle don't care about you. Why should you care about him? Nobody cares."

 

[Dr. Acula]

This isn't unconditional.

Yeah, the working man is the sucka until you're shot or killed or put in prison for life.

A lot of people aren't willing to sacrifice for all those in exchange for more wealth. Not to mention the additional paranoia that comes along with it.

And to answer the question fukk naw. How can you not give a man props for getting up everyday for 30-40 years and going to work? That is tough. My Dad had a streak where he worked from like the early 70's till the early 2000's when I got hurt, and didn't miss a single day. And my dad use to get SLAUGHTERED. When that clock hit 6:30 he was up and out the door 30 minutes before 8 EVERYDAY. for damn near 30 years straight. His reasoning was because back when he started if nikkas missed a day, they would just get rid of they ass.

It is true for the majority of the American work force.

The working man is conditioned to believe in the age old fable of the AMERICAN DREAM, which has felled more men than all of our wars combined. You have the outliers, the few percent - that make great money beyond their cost of living, they are able to capitalize off of their source of income to fund the things they really want out of life. Then you have the majority, the true working class citizens who's world would crumble if an unexpected $400 medical bill popped up.

Who or what does it benefit to have millions of people working to barely keep their heads above water? The Corporate interests and American Economy. They need lemmings who are willing to work menial jobs with a near zero chance of making significant progress towards better wages, better quality of life and better financial stability.

Work towards a goal, start your own business or create passive income. Set the business up to run itself, collect your passive income and retire early.

It's like 195 million working age Americans in this country, how many businesses can be started?

This sounds good until you realize the alternative being posed is a life of crime.

In that context, it's a stupid ass line and DeNiro was right to smack his dumbass kid for saying that.

So I'm sitting here watching A Bronx Tale and that line kind of struck a chord with me. Part of me believes it's true and part of me believes it's wrong.

Play the game and win the prizes associated with that game.

The sucker is the person who takes that crime shortcut and becomes a jail statistic.

Right. I know so many people who can't get real jobs now because of shyt they did when they were young. Everybody thinks they are going to be bigger than what they are. And even the ones who get in pocket. All it takes is an arrest or two, and your basically fukked up on the legal side of things.

Calogero couldn't even spell his own name.......

 

[Suleiman Bey]

everybody is a working man unless they are rich. everybody has a structure unless they are rich or unsuccesful. A life of crime gives you certain freedom and the illusion of being a boss, but it's work.
