From one of the 99%

Okay folks, this has been building up for a while.....

If you don't want to be in the 99% go do something about it. Bitching and whining about how someone else has something you do not is not going to change anything. The top 3 wealthiest people in America were not born with that wealth. It was not bequeathed to them from a rich uncle on his death bed. It was not handed down through royal decree, it was fucking earned! Through hard work, sacrifice, and good old fashioned unscrupulous determination.

Less than 1% of high school football players possess the skills and determination that result in a transition to the level of professional. The statistics are approximately the same for other major league sports in America. Yet there is no occupy the NFL movement. If you can't cut it, don't play and everyone understands this.

Bill Gates: America's #1 Mr. Big Bucks was born to a lawyer father, who started his own firm (read: not born rich) and a teaching mother turned business woman. These were entrepreneurs. They struggled and saved and invested and committed themselves to improving their lot in life. In fact, William H. Gates Sr. PUT HIMSELF THROUGH COLLEGE using the G.I. Bill after serving honorably in WWII!

What has happened to the American Dream? It has become a nightmare.. It has become something that 99% of Americans feel they are entitled too simply because they are American!

I have news: You are not entitled to shit!

No one owes you a damned thing. Get off your ass, and get to work. Stop popping out babies you can't afford. Stop bitching and whining about people who have worked their asses off. Everyone recognizes that a soldier sacrifices much for his country. What the 99% fails to recognize is that the the wealthiest 1% of this country also sacrifice. They sacrifice Christmas away from home, they sacrifice story time with their kids (if they even have kids), they give up the chance to watch their children grow, play baseball, win a spelling bee. They sacrifice family, love, and much much more.

Is it not a sacrifice, because the reward is money instead of honor?

That was their choice and you can make it too!
