The morality of the working class.
#1
The morality of the working class.
I just saw this story on CNN. A cab driver discovered 2OOK in his cab. Now being a major city I am sure this guy struggled even with tips. But he turned the money into lost and found and the owner recovered it. Now while he did get a 2,000 dollar reward, the company he works for DOES NOT pay him enough for cost of living, nor do most of the middle class or working poor.

Why is it this guy can do the right tthing, but the uber rich simply pay off lawmakers to make tax breaks and shelters and stupidly claim that because a law exists and means they are not breaking the law, makes it moral?

Most people in the middle class and even the working poor, when they find a wallet or money that does not belong to them, WILL, try to find the person it belongs to.

But yet people like Mitt and Wal Mart do not see that law that benifets them, and not equal to the worker or closely reflecting a fair market, bitch that the middle and poor are not competing with India and China's slave labor and act like the victims when the reality is that they are the bullies.

That cab driver could have not reported it and kept it. So why is it the uber rich think by merely putting something on paper in law makes them moral. It is nothing but legalized theft.

A cab driver to me has more fucking morals in this case than Wal Mart or Mitt Romney.
