There is a parable in the Bible about a master giving his servants talents.

Find out what happened to the one who did not use theirs to make more.

bootstraps are mentioned towards the back.

Shouldn't the free market fix this by increasing the pay of the security guards so that they can live in the area? If they have to drive in from other cities wouldn't that mean the 10 bucks they are making would not be enough, THEN a sudden demand for security and cleaning people would place a premium on those types of skilled jobs, forcing companies to pay them more?

Maybe we just need to be patient and let the market work all these things out for us

The learning curve for the tech industry is quite low, and really leaves no excuse for the constant resentment expressed at their salaries.

I find Kim Kardashian being worth millions to be far more troubling than any wage they earn...

Dog, all you do is find new ways to kiss rich people's ass. Who "resents" these people in the context you're trying to claim? Stop trying to deify those in higher tax brackets. If anything silicon valley got off light for the way they artificially created a tech bubble that helped to submarine our economy, and drive the recession of the early 2000's. If poor black people did something like that you'd never hear the end of it.

"F--- the 1%" and other rants were spray-painted last month on walls, garages and a car in the Silicon Valley town of Atherton, home to many top tech CEOs

Swap resentment for whatever word makes you feel better, but its silly. If anything should be "resented/hated" it should be the rules of the game, not the players.


side note: I defend the players in the game rich or poor, black or white, its the govt. running the game I have a problem with.
