[QUOTE="soonersfan, post: 1438515, member: 9063"] If I thought it was BS, I think I would be an anti-capitalist. If it weren't for capitalism, our poor people wouldn't be rich compared to most poor people in the world. Everything is relative. You can compare your situation to someone in a much better situation and feel bad about your situation because you may have worked harder and have less to show for it. The other option would be to compare your situation to someone in a worse situation, Haiti, Sudan, Sierra Leone, Iraq, etc. and realize that as bad as things are for you right now, there are millions of people who would jump at the opportunity to switch places with you. I don't care much for most professional athletes and pretty much anyone from Hollywood either. If I had the skill or ability, I would probably be using it to earn a living just as they are though. I'm of the belief that most of us get paid what we're worth. I don't have those kinds of talent or ability so I don't make that kind of scratch. I try not to spend too much time thinking about what other people have that I don't. I just try to do the best with what I have and make the most of it. I also know that in the end, I am far happier than most of these famous rich people will ever be. [/QUOTE]
