The Pie O Wealth

[Sheridan]

Here you can have your pie and eat it too, provided you can keep it down.

I love the people who suggest Americans work harder. We already work harder and longer hours on average than anyone else in the industrialized world, with the fewest days of vacation. I mean Germans and French work under 40 hours per week (was 35hr workweek in France) and have a month vacation per year. I guess if the lower 90% of the US all just knuckle down and work harder, maybe 26 hours per day we might make the same $ a fat-cat-sitting-on-his-a$$ CEO who does as little as possible to help his company and yet still gets a quarter billion dollar Golden Platinum Parachute. AHA! I've been doing it all wrong all these years.
