while another man - with just as much talent and integrity - is forced to work at McDonalds and get nickeled-and-dimed to death...
I would say this other man is most definately not as talented, otherwise he wouldn't be working for McDonalds. It doesn't take any talent at all to sit around and bemoan the great injustices that have been heaped upon you, while blaming the rich or privileged for all of your problems. A truly talented person would find a way to use his skills constructively, regardless of this position.
However, the moment you are in the minimum wage trap (and I know what I'm talking about, believe me!) you are royally screwed. While you are just getting by on said wage, the moment you have an unexpected emergency you overextend yourself and boom! there goes your credit rating. Now this talented individual has to work more hours flipping burgers. And more. And more. and so on. With no time for a social life, no way of networking, no way of developing any ideas because no bugger will advance him the capital he needs. He cannot quit his job and take a chance, because he needs to eat.
So. To summarise.Take any succesful (or rich, your choice) person. Remove his contacts, his power and his wardrobe. Give him a crippling overdraft, credit card bills and a minimum wage job at MacD's , and remind him that there is no safety net. No pay = no food.
Then remind him that he needs to use his skills constructively and become a self made man.
