[QUOTE="UPS Lifer, post: 1036817, member: 9789"] Disclaimer - As for what I said below: I do not know how your statement above could be changed to get your point across. The way you stated it, gets your point across very well. For some reason as soon as I read "working as a common man", I could really feel a distinction of class. It struck me that we all probably look at occupations and make a distinction as to where that work fits in on the class scale. I know I have done this to some degree myself. When I was a kid, my dad would tell me "Do you want to dig ditches your entire life?" As times changed, I caught myself telling my kids "Do you want to flip burgers the rest of your life"? Just recently I made a reference in one of my posts to "flipping burgers"! I think that any job is an important job and should be given all due respect (I am not saying that the reference above was disrespectful). My problem is with rich elitist who feel they are above the rest of us. I think you make a good point about Romney "working as a common man". The liberal left would have you believe that he is disconnected from the rest of us.... an extreme elitist. But, this is far from who he really is. Thanks for making me look at this post introspectively to remind myself how important each and every person is and that contributing to society in any way possible is an extremely honorable thing to do and we should all be proud of our contributions.
