According to reddit, that's how rich people actually think.

Even if the ACA didn't jack up prices making healthcare less affordable (and shoving a heavier financial burden on young people), a lot of it DOES come down to how people spend their money since you'll always have people who spend their rent money on bottle service (common enough to make it into a song) and other ridiculous shit. Even if you have a ton of money, if you manage it poorly you're going to be broke. Just look at the countless big lotto winners and former pro athletes who went completely bust.

On the other end of the extreme, you have people who actually can't afford it but buy it anyway because they're willing to make drastic cuts to pay for it when they're unable to take on extra work. These are just some of the people hurt by the ACA which has jacked up their rates -- often at little additional value.

just because someone writes a lyric in a song doesn't mean that occurrence is common

It's clearly a big enough thing that people are aware of and can relate to the practice.

says who?

most people can't relate to 99% of things in the type of genre that would exalt misspending your rent money on bottle service. just because it's in a song doesn't mean that it is common or relatable. you're really scraping the bottom of the barrel for this one.

Basically, if people where not poor, they would not do the shit jobs. If people didn't do the shit jobs, then the rich would have to pay more to get them done, and the people would not be poor anymore.

Thing is people want to eat, have a place to live etc, so they will do the shit jobs for hardly any money, and so they stay poor.

And honestly even if most americans said screw this and refused to do those jobs, the rich would just get people from other countries to do them probably, so it wouldn't really fix anything.

But yeah, not everyone can be rich, over 50% of the jobs in this country pay less then $15 an hour, or low enough to be considered "poor" if you work it full time. That pretty much has to stay that way for society to work the way it does right now and the rich to continue to enjoy their current lifestyles and opportunities.

So when the rich complain about the poor, it's like complaining about your slaves not being happy enough about being slaves.

Actually, it doesn't. However, socialism depends on capitalism being vilified to not only offer itself as a replacement but to cover for its countless shortcomings.

Probably because you do many shit topics. As for love, most people have experienced some feeling which they identify as love. Teens in particular fall in and out of what they think is love many times throughout high school.

Which is the silly and wrong idea that somebody has to have done something to write or sing out it. Murder is a part of thug life and, while most thugs haven't killed anybody, many of them fantasize about killing people. And, in general, murder isn't uncommon in our culture especially among the black community (half of all homicides in the US involve a black perpetrator and black victim) which, generally speaking, is the primary demographic for rap.

Few things: While not everybody in this country can be rich at the same time, anybody in this country can be rich and most people are capable of earning a good income by the time they die.

Low-end jobs will always exist but, the fewer people around to do them, the more that the jobs will be forced to pay or to immigrate people to do the jobs (coincidentally, the H1B1 Visa program is used to screw Americans out of jobs since it gives guaranteed labor at a cheaper price). And, in general, if all people were equally intelligent and motivated, people would start low-paying jobs in their youth and work their way up over their lifetime. In our current system, a capable, intelligent, and motivated young person can leapfrog through the system while unmotivated, incapable older workers stay at the bottom.

More like socialism, given that it entails taking productive effort to allow and encourage people to be unproductive >_> It's an inherently self-destructive system.
