But you, sir, are free in the U.S. to risk your own capital and future to pursue your own wealth, so that you can employ others to increase it.
The fact that you haven't speaks more to your values (or lack thereof), and places the blame for your predicament squarely on your own shoulders. You're just not man enough to admit it.

The trotted on are rarely grateful.
He hates “the system”, you hate your job, it’s a celebration of failure all around.
you used to be free to risk your own capital and future to pursue your own wealth, so that you can have slaves to increase it.
doesn't make it right.
the problem with capitalism is profiting off workers and lack of worker power so they work more than they like, in unsafe conditions, democracy is corrupted, and they work in conditions they don't like. goes against the idea of freedom and democracy.
what you have is a lot of freedom for very few ppl at the expense of everyone elses freedom
this system is a violation of do unto others as you would have them do unto u. the capitalists wouldn't treat themselves like this.

Actually, you are wrong. I love my career. And rickyb was simply never fully ejected from his mother's womb, and resents having to grow up and fend for himself.
Is that what you’ve been telling the folks on this side of the board?
Some frequent BC posters consider Trump a populist, and think that he will be the savior of the middle-class.

Rising prices have erased U.S. workers’ meager wage gains, the latest sign strong economic growth has not translated into greater prosperity for the middle and working classes.
Cost of living was up 2.9 percent from July 2017 to July 2018, the Labor Department reported Friday, an inflation rate that outstripped a 2.7 percent increase in wages over the same period. The average U.S. “real wage,” a federal measure of pay that takes inflation into account, fell to $10.76 an hour last month, 2 cents down from where it was a year ago.
In U.S., wage growth is being wiped out entirely by inflation

And some infrequent BC posters seem to think it's better to do nothing at all then actually attempt to improve things.
But...but...but...that was always predicted.

pop·u·list - a member or adherent of a political party seeking to represent the interests of ordinary people.
I think he is the most populist President we have have since FDR.
His desire to help the ordinary American, however, is tempered
by his belief that the best way to help the average American is to create
a business environment rich in employment and investment opportunities.

Unlike you, I don't need to prevaricate. I am emancipated, and am enjoying an unfettered, unstructured, well financed seclusion from the rat race.

Why do you think this is occurring?
BTW - This is from The Washington Post so double check if this is important to you.
from the same article:
Top economic advisers warn against focusing too much on one measure of wage growth. Other metrics have shown stronger pay gains. The Atlanta Federal Reserve’s wage tracker is showing 3.2 percent wage growth over the past year.
