I have more respect for someone who is a hard charging type person doing whatever it takes than some pathetic pissant whining that he/she is worth more than their skill set.

This is one of the most contradictory statements I have read in a while. You say someone shouldn't be whining that they are worth more than their skill set yet you say people should sell themselves. How can one sell themselves if they're apparently not worth more than their skill set?
I realize you're probably talking about just neurotypical people though but still...

you need shelter, food, clothes, etc

unless you can build it yourself, make it your self, grow it yourself, and sew it yourself, you are working for someone

Exactly. No one is really free if we sit down and analyze it so why not just let people believe that they are free? Freedom is what you make of it. Working for another person doesn't have to put you in "chains" If you like working there it doesn't matter. If you don't like working there then that's not as freeing but at least you have something and generally people find another one.

Think about what I said. It will come to you if you think outside a liberal box.

Goofing off, taking too long for lunch, stealing all sorts of items, calling in sick when they are not, not taking their job serious and fowling up, using the computer to access Internet while on company time.

The attitude that one group can take advantages on another and to lead it to desperation.

Since employment is a voluntary agreement between two parties, how is one taken advantage of?

Are you for real?

If you have no food in your gut and no place to live you would probably WORK for someone so you can survive.

It is basically choosing between death or food in your belly.

Why do you think that working for another person is normal?

Yes, this concept has been explored before. But, it does not work as long as man is primitive, barbaric, and unethical. As long as there are lazy people and those that like to exploit others this revolution will not work. In this instance lazy people are as bad as those that exploit others.
