Barbara Ehrenreich Quote
I grew up hearing over and over, to the point of tedium, that hard work was the secret of success: Work hard and you'll get ahead or It's hard work that got us where we are. No one ever said that you could work hard - harder even than you ever thought possible - and still find yourself sinking ever deeper into poverty and debt.
