This is a question Conned

Have you carried out a successful con? Perhaps you hustled a few quid off a stranger, or defrauded a multi-national company. Or have you been taken for the wide-eyed, naive rube that you are?

No pity
I grit my teeth every day and do a job that gradually reduces me to a ruined shell just so I can pay all the taxes I need to get by. You're quite welcome to your way of life, but don't expect me to hand over any of my money to a begger with too little spine to earn money the conventional way. Most of us are over-qualified and/or too intelligent for the jobs we do, but we don't go and live in a field and crap in holes. If you have ability, and the opportunity to show it, somebody will give you a job. That's my hard-won experience.

You're conning yourself.
