I got mine, so screw you

The real American motto:

I got mine, so screw you

This is a variation of the popular

Everybody should just pull themselves up by their own bootstraps

It seems to be pretty easy for the privledge in the US to extort that it was just their hard work and smarts that resulted in their success.  Most of us know this isn’t true.  It usually involves the family they were born in and the privledges they received before they could even tie their own shoes.  Throw in a big helping of greed that virtually all large corporations subscribe to and you have Republicans.
