Work hard or don't work hard?

Liberals keep saying immigrants are superior to whites because they work harder, then they turn around and tell white yuppies they are idiots who have been conned into working so hard by evil capitalists and they are happier digging drainage ditches, picking lettuce or wiping old people's asses for a living.

So which is it? Or is this yet another one of your double standards? If you had to tell everyone in the world to work hard or not work hard what would you tell them?

The middle class worker pays about 40% of his income to all levels of government, including all taxes and fees.  That part is true, and obviously it puts great pressure on the ability to save.  HOWEVER, even after paying that 40%, you can still save 20% by living modestly in the first place.  People today wouldn't be caught dead living the way their parents lived in the 1960s ... yet that modest living was perfectly fine.  What we have today is a failure to control spending.  The government does it, and we do it.  It's time to stop living in denial.

If capital is free to move, yet workers aren't, then the only thing we're getting close to is a world filled with Second World nations, AT BEST.  There will be NO First World nations, since the consumers in those economies will be as extinct as the Dodo bird.

The invisible hand of the market doesn't understand fairness.  It only understands money.  If one man has a great excess of money, while another man starves, the invisible hand doesn't move at all.
