It's a lot more like what George said than like what PGRDN said.Unless your very high tech,your screwed when you work for somebody else.It's all set up for business owners.They get to pay as little as possible,and then the gov't taxes the worker on that shitty pay.Then when he struggles,they tell him to get a "better" job.This was the job that was supposed to be "good."Meanwhile,the business owner gets to write off the cost of his 2 cars etc. etc. on his taxes,and then starts telling the worker that he now has to take another 8th of his wages for the medical coverage.See,that's a new one.Businesses used to pay the medical,but now it's somehow more and more on the worker.The "somehow" is because it's designed for them(the owners.) So,don't work for somebody else. It's not set up to work for you that way.The exception is working like PGRDN does(for a school district etc. that isn't out to make a profit.) He isn't getting ripped off,and so he thinks others get a fair deal(they don't.)Capitalism is set up for people to be able to capitalize off of the poor position of other people.That's the part of Carlin that's right,and PGRDN is right about owning a business.
