Read it and saw the stage play based on it. The sad fact is that there are many rich people, as well as others in the top 10%, who arrogantly believe that they are entitled to exploit people who live their whole lives slaving away as members of the working poor. In my view, tho it would not exactly be equal justice, it might be more fair if those exploiters ended up facing the guillotine or imprisoned on an island for their cruel selfishness.

I read it too. Very true. People in the low paying jobs make it possible for the rich to be rich. It is a cut throat world out there.

What's the book titled?

I think it is Nickle and Dimed, at the bottom.

@Fernapple yes it is

So very true it is almost painfully so. And they often put in far more effort and talent into making their undervalued contributions, than the rich do into their overvalued ones.

Especially since so many members of the rich simply inherited their wealth and did nothing to earn it.

@TomMcGiverin And then like an orange person, lost a lot of it, through lazy incompetence.

@Fred_Snerd Yes I know I started with a job in a factory working shifts, and I don't think that anyone who has not done it, has any idea of the thought time and effort that went into keeping fifty machines running round the clock, just to produce plastic parts. Fortunately I managed to earn a lump sum enough, just, to start a business, and I never looked back. But I would not want to put those years in again, yet some men did a whole lifetime there.
