"Nobody who works hard should be poor in America." What a great quote. However, the author documents many heart-breaking examples that show that staement for what it is; a wish for things to be the way we think they should be. Financial compensation for work performed is rarely a function of calories burned in performing the job, nor is it a function of the necessity of the job to society. I finished this book with a renewed sense of gratitude for how I have done in life, realizing that success is not purely about making smart choices and working hard, but also about having plain ole good luck as well. May God help those who are unlucky.
