In some professions it's an absolute benefit.

Buncha pussies.

Say something I disagree with, tosser.

F*ckin fat arse! Or maybe not... Did bicycling around in your tights pay off, after all?

Better still, say that your Heritage Softail will outhandle any of those gay plastic sprotbikes that all the leather wearing pooftahs ride.

I've had a few people wanting to offer me those "business opportunities" - you've got to laugh at the idiots that get sucked into those pyramid selling schemes.

Pure Capitalism gone mad, where "you too could earn $20,000 a month". Yeah, right........ .

The nanny could go for a 30% pay rise before the mother is worse off (but she'd be more tempted to find a cheaper nanny at that point...)

Yep, both get a 10% pay rise and are better off. Not!!!!!!!

Mum buys nanny's business service, and is $2 an hour better of than before the rise. Nanny buy's mum's professional service and is $2 an hour worse off.

We all have to pay for services, and the cost of those services rise with pay rates. The above example is a classic case of those at the bottom being worse off when the cost of services rise.

You love us really. We make you feel all wanted, because no one else wants you, because you don't own a bike and you have a shit job. Oh and you're over weight too.

How am I doing?

real wealth is measured by how often you can skip work without losing the house

Na mate - that's monetary wealth.

Real wealth is measured by the number of tears at your funeral...

Huge difference, and the two can be completely exclusive of each other
