| Message | The proletariat should just get to the top of their professions by working harder so that they can become fat cats too instead of moaning about wages and then getting some raving union to whinge at a dedicated, hard-working business director. My message for those at the bottom of the pile is this: Work hard, get a life, learn your place in society, obey those above you and realise that it's tough at the top.
