Why is it that the people who like to claim that money isn't everything, are so obsessed with getting equal pay?

Why is it that many on the left, who say they stand for equality, only care about one element of equality - monetary. Why, to them, is everything about money?

Because everything is too expensive.  You shouldn't have to slave yourself and whore yourself to corporate America just to have a roof over you head or gas in you tank.

 

I can understand that some people have unrealistic expectations, but people with reasonable expectations are still getting screwed.

First and foremost, the vast majority of jobs in America are  within small businesses, so you're not "whoring yourself out to corporate America".

Second, you don't slave, nobody is forcing you to work anywhere. Taxing people, and giving that money away is slavery and theft.

Third, "expectations". You shouldn't expect anything from anyone. Expectations is oh-so-close to entitlements. Nobody is entitled to a roof over their head, or gas in their car - because those things cannot be provided without stealing from someone else.

Many people say I'm a radical right winger... I don't see how having to work for a living can be considered radical.
