What's wrong with society today?

[Amoeba]

Only last week my single mother cousin said quite openly 'I can't believe those unemployed fuckers live across the road in a council house, whilst I have to live with my parents yet work 40 hours a week'.

Anecdotally untrue.

Perhaps you're a sociopath just waiting to happen.

I think you just don't understand the Pareto principle.

The problem is the people at the bottom don't view themselves at a worthy member of society or a respected individual they degrade themselves to the societal norms of the upper class. Lower class individuals spend the little that they make on higher class goods. Why would a lower class citizen buy a BMW when a honda does the job just as good for cheaper cost?

That sounds like 'keeping up with the joneses'. I don't have much truck with such poor decision making and social compliance.
