    Good post struggler, however the people you refer to fit my family background rather well, and not who I refer to.

    We "lived on the bones of our arse" for many years, but got off it as your people obviously did from what you state. The only difference from your folk to my father is he had nothing at all and was regarded by Australians as a "DP" and treated like crap. My grandfather came from the UK as a young man with not much at all and started a farm from a small land grant. Land he cleared by hand and built into one of the best in the WA wheatbelt.

    I learnt young you get nothing unless you work hard for it, my family could hardly pay for me to go to school let alone support through uni. I never went to Uni until I was 41 when I had a very young family all in school, and I paid for it from my hard earned, no handouts nothing.

    Anyone csn achieve what I have and more, if they applied themselves and got off their backside instead of whinging about how much I or other earn and wanting to "take their fair share" of what I achieved.

    The ones you refer to don't "fit the category of under-achievers" I referred to.

    To me they are the salt of the earth.

    The ones I refer to wouldn't get out of their own way to save their own lives and always look for someone else to blame or pay, let alone do as our folk had to do and work damn hard for what we now have.

    A vast difference.
