    Is there not a saying about this, I forget the direct one…

    How would you push back against these, I know many working class people are born hearing them, as well as people starting their own businesses…

    Here are some similar ones though:

    “Never use your own money when you can spend someone else’s.”

      Of course workshy scroungers, who live off of other people’s hard work, will only want to spend other peoples money.

      Ask them how they feel about poor people doing the exact same thing with government money and you’ll soon find out that they were just bullshitting you to justify their greed and exploitation all along.
