Art, you seem very reasonable so please, enlighten me.  I see you are you wife got ahead through good education and by working hard.  Would you explain what you mean by working hard?  What is the difference between working and working hard?  Is it how much you make?  The type of work you do?  On your feet all day or on your butt all day, which is hardest?  Does a person with a severe disability work hard every day?  Does a subsistence person work hard?  

Please understand, these questions are not directed at your comments but at some others I've read over the past few months.
