The 8 hour workday should apply to white collar workers
You can study everyday in school get perfect grades while working a part time job. Then work 100 hours a week for $100k a year and be grateful for the opportunity. While everyone else was partying, doing drugs and getting laid. You were doing nothing but working and sleeping. Other people slacked off, showed up late or hungover while you worked hard and made sure to kiss your bosses ass whenever possible. Everyone called you a nerd, geek, loser, brown noser. But now you're making over $300k, still working 50-60 hours a week but hey atleast its not 100hrs right? And you have so much more free time now that you're wife's divorced you taken half your stuff and doesn't even let you see your kids despite paying more than half your salary in alimony and child support. Then some guy who looks just like your wife's new boyfriend protests in front of your building demanding more taxes for rich people and a higher minimum wage. I have a feeling no matter how many snooty economists from the ivy league college that rejected you for not having enough extracurriculars but accepted the high school football captain who used to cheat off your tests, tell you it's good for the economy you still won't support it
