Am I the only American who actually feels he is paid what he's worth?

I mean really.

I get some pretty vile insults from liberals on here. Calling me a "well trained dog" because I'm actually willing to accept slightly more than the fair market value that has been set for my professional level and job skills and not demand more than my labor is worth on the open market.

Apparently if you are happy with your job, don't hate your bosses, don't hate your company and refuse to have a negative, adversarial attitude towards your superiors and actually feel you are being paid fairly for what you do for a living you are some kind of scumbag traitor to the labor movement and are not allowed to have an opinion.

I guess its the same thing as when a black conservative is called an Uncle Tom and a race traitor if he doesn't go along with the rest of his racial peers.

The fact is I'm well paid for the educational level and professional experience I have, my superiors are thrilled with my job performance and I see benefits from that. Who the (*)(*)(*)(*) are you liberal scum to judge me on that?

Half you bastards hate your jobs and your lives and your bosses and your companies so much you must be miserable besotted SOB's. Life is too short to live like that.

I have nothing against "the blue collar" except for the fact that they aren't like me and willing to accept the reality that their labor isn't worth as much as they feel it is. That they are replaceable cogs in a giant machine, just like me.

It is the entitelment attitude of "I deserve.." that makes me better than the average laborer. I'm content within the reality of life, rather than live in a world of "I want" "I deserve" "I should have".

Liberal scum, and they know who they are, can kiss my ass. Better to be happy with my low salary than miserable with yours.

 

A capitalist society like ours enhances the profit motive. Regardless of mentality, every laborer is inclined to ask for more, or to seek out more money. In a perfect free market or mixed market economy, every person would choose to seek out more money, or means of gaining more money by attaining more marketable skills. The reality is that this isn't the case. Humans (not just liberals) want to move up the economic ladder with the least amount of effort as possible.

 

I'm priceless. You couldn't pay me as much as I'm worth.

 

Overall, I'm pretty much paid what my labor is worth. If I didn't believe that, I would find a different career.

 

In my line of work, if you are happy with what you are paid, you are probably over paid
