There are different ways to read such articles. On the one
hand one could read it with a sense of outrage and great umbrage at the crimes
of the wealthy.
Others will read it and get angry and defend the status quo.
Employing a multitude of Right-wing and Neoliberal arguments they will quash
all complaints and morally denounce those who would dare to question economic
and market orthodoxy.
But there's another way to read it. First, I reject the
assumption of middle class norms. I don't judge the right or wrong of it for
workers by the standards of the middle class. I realise the average worker
expects vacation days, sick days, a pension and all the rest. I don't and I
don't have any of those things... and I don't really care.
So do I disagree with the author of the piece?
