Why Hard Working Americans Will Come Out on Top Opposed to Wall Street Gold Diggers
If you haven’t heard the news or been under a rock for the past nine months, you know that the economy is currently “in the hole.” Everyday it’s the same thing on the news about big companies losing money, Wall Street’s Dow soaring down, businesses folding, etc. It’s very depressing to even listen to after a long days work while trying to survive your own daily issues. But yet, I am appalled at what I see on TV lately about the bailout and big companies. AIG for instance, I don’t know the whole background story but what I do know is that we “as in America” own 80% of AIG since they are basically living off our tax money. Well the CEO (can’t remember his name at the moment) that got AIG to where it is today that stepped down about 3 years ago is now suing the company for losing so much in the stocks. But like the anchor said on the nightly news, “If he is suing AIG, he is also suing you and I.” That really hit home as the anchor said that. I mean it’s completely true, no way around that. I saw so many Americans being interviewed showing how mad they were at the fact that these high paid, lazy, greedy CEO’s of AIG are using the bailout money to hand out bonuses to around 75 employees. What’s worse is that it’s the ones in the mortgage section that got them in this mess in the first place! That just does not add up to me. Americans are furious, there was one construction worker working while being interviewed tossing blocks down to someone in the subway saying “this is how real hardworking Americans work and live, they need to get off their high horse and learn how to actually work to support your family and make a living.” I know that’s how most feel, because that is how I feel towards the subject as well. 
It’s not fair to those losing their jobs, trying to do everything they can to support their families while others who sitting in lavish homes that don’t deserve to be there. Now I’m not putting a label on all CEO’s, so let me get that straight. I have met some great people in high places but they are very involved in charities, etc. and pretty down to earth people who live in nothing more than an average American would.
It’s crazy to see how some peoples work ethic is to get out and work with their bare hands, shoveling, working in underground sites, breaking their backs to run a restaurant all day, etc. when others are taking people’s money and running with it having no shame in it. 
Everything I have known or seen from what America has become today is from hardworking Americans that got us here. Not the politicians and big name CEO’s, even the president can’t change things in a year or even four years, it’s just someone to look to and put blame on if things don’t go how you want them to. Work ethic is what got our great country here and lazy greedy people are what got us in this rut today. Even when we get out of this recession, down the road we will have another one thanks to those who create scandals and have no remorse for what they do. What’s sad is many politicians say we have rules but not all of them follow the rules, they think they are above them.
I have met some people before who had lots of money and the dirtiest work they did was go to a local grocery store to get food (I kid you not, this is what they said). The whole time in that conversation they had their nose up at me like I was nothing more than “blue collar” person. I don’t like to judge people and try to live my life where I don’t but the whole time I was thinking how dare you look at me like that… Tell you what though, I would rather have my simple, great hardworking life than that one they led.
The problem with many today is, we all want, want, want. What’s the point in having all these things if you have no where to put it all and it only brings you joy for a short while then puts a hole in your pocket? So many kids want to live the big life like some out in LA and be in the spotlight to be someone in this world. It’s just completely sad when you see all these things today and how greedy so many are.
Hard working Americans will come out on top simply because they always have. Some hard working Americans can be anyone who worked to get where they are, those are the ones who appreciate what they have and give back to those who don’t have as much. They deserve to be where they are right now, so I am not talking about them. Hard work pays off when you give it your all. Think about your parents and grandparents who worked so hard for you and the family to be okay, continue what they did so your kids can learn from you too and know what hard work is. Also live everyday like it was your last, because you never know what tomorrow might bring!
