Nurses are paid salaries, military personnel (proud member of the other 1% myself) are paid salaries, teachers are paid salaries, managers are paid salaries, chefs profit from the bill he pays for. He doesn’t owe society anything else other than taxes. Now, the argument of whether or not he pays his taxes since he’s “rich” and hides his money is a totally different story.

One second to talk about people my age, born in the late 80’s and now graduating college….
22 yr olds at OWS protests, fresh out of college (like myself) and tired of looking for a job 3 months after graduating really need to shut the fuck up. Here is a helpful website I looked at before I chose my college major:

I majored in chemical engineering and graduated this year. (I am not a genius, my ACT was a 29, above average, easily achievable if you’re normal and work hard.)
Now wheter I stay in the military 5, 10 or 20 years, I have familiarity in a field that has earning potential out the fucking roof.
Meanwhile, your average college student according to the National Center for Education Statistics will…
“Of the 1,601,000 bachelor’s degrees conferred in 2008–09, the greatest numbers of degrees were conferred in the fields of business (348,000); social sciences and history (169,000); health sciences (120,000); and education (102,000) ”

And people wonder why they are broke 10 years after going to school and have crushing debt loads. You paid 200,000 dollars at some schools for a business degree that might make 70k in 15 years. Ouch.
