In some respects Mr. Corrola is right about the "me" generations with all the mandatory trophies and such. But where the wheels fall off his argument is the blind worship of those who "built" the company.

There are legions of companies who have moved all operations overseas to China and those jobs are never coming back. This has been happening in particular in the midwest of this country for decades. It's just that really recently it has started to really bite at the heels of the upper middle class and their children. A college degree means little when now professional jobs can be outsourced. And student loans are forever.

If one has to work their tail off as Mr. Corrola says I'm in complete agreement with that 100 percent. But at the same time banks and corporations cannot gamble with their shareholders money and then be recapitalized with our tax revenue with no reprecussions. The have turned capitalism into a cruel joke. Corporate welfare has cost us more than anything ever.

Seems to me the ultimate form of free money has gone to the financial sector in the trillions of dollars/euro's/pounds. I don't agree with the tactics of the OWS crowd. But I must admit they are the canary in the coal mine regarding the general feeling to the powers that be.

Mr. Corolla is apparently telling a partial truth as this whole ball of wax is much more complicated than he has described.
