Indeed.
I don't see why this is the case. If only people in a certain situation can complain about that situation, then how exactly are we going to make society better?
This would mean...
* Only prisoners could complain about our criminal justice system
* Only children could complain about our education system, even limiting to just parents causes problems
* Only gays can comment on gay marriage
We are in this together if you like or not, we should be free to have an opinion and voice that opinion on any subject.

He's adding to the cost of one of the best vehicles out of poverty- higher education. Obviously he is (and should be) allowed to complain all he likes, but he is part of the problem and seems quite comfortable with it.

If I had a nickel for every time I heard a libtard say men should not be allowed to comment on abortion, I'd be as rich as Robert Reich. (The HYPOCRITE, Robert Reich)

BS.
I am sure he negotiated the 240k contract for 1 class.
Taking less money wouldn't have somehow lost him the job.
Yes, it is hypocritical to take a 240k job for 1 class and then go off on greed.
Only a moron can't see this and your examples don't even remotely fit this situation at all.

Of course everyone should be free to have an opinion, but his lectures on greed seem a little disingenuous coming from someone who is a 1 percenter, just as lectures admonishing us to reduce our carbon footprints by Al Gore are. It's hard to take either of those guys seriously. People watch what you do more than what you say.
A very wise Man once said, "You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye."
