I see so many angles to this problem, it's hard
to put a single factor to blame, you have corporate
america being demanded to show a profit for the
investors, you have unions demanding rediculous
saleries and benefits, you have the American people
demanding more and more money in wages, you got
companies raising prices to cope with losses to taxes,
increased wages and shareholders wanting more return
on their stocks.
I can't make more money without it coming out of sombody's
pocket, and you know they don't like that so they make it up
someplace else (higher prices).
The way I see it, it all boils down to greed, I want to say
everybody, but I don't think this is true, so most want more
for doing nothing more, and not really putting in an honest
days work at that.
The whole work thing changed when we as a country shifted to
working for a company, tradeing dollars for hours, and not
working for ourselves, there is no incentive to work harder when
it is for somebody else, if fact it becomes the opposite, do as
little as possible.
And then there is government ....... Don't get me started
Do you realize about 60% (if I remember right) of the jobs in
the US are government related !!! read they don't produce
anything!! they on the other hand suck dollars away from the
working people in their wages and saleries and don't contribute
one bit to the GNP of the US !!!
I am including Federal, state, county and city governments
and all the various divisions that would be included, they don't
add to the economy, just drain it.
I'm not saying all government jobs should be eliminated, there
is a need for a form of government but it is getting rediculous,
we should give ourselves a big hand an pat on the back, the 30%
of us working, produceing people are doing a damn good job of
keeping this economy rolling, and I venture to say other countries
like Canada have at least as much government as the US does so
give yourselvs a hand too. Good on ya.
Well I started on the ground and found myself up here on this soap
box, so I guess it's time to get off ..... Do your best, and buy domestic
if you can, heaven knows we can't all afford it, but if you can, do it.
