Termyn8or -> Is employment a right part duex (5/18/2011 6:28:23 PM)

Let's experiment with a different standpoint. There was a time when we had employment. Probably never full employment, but adequate. People bought things and actually paid for them. Of course there were less things, but there were more than before. The system worked an a hell of alot of people were happy with it, Of course some were exploited, but fewer than today, wouldn't ya say ?
What made it work ? I think work made it work. Now, what do we expect from "our" government ? People are talking free healthcare and all this, some even like the bank bailouts, the fact the we are going to sell the only lawful currency we have, which is the gold in Fort Knox. That debate aside, but what has brought us to this point ? When the system worked this idea would never even have a turkey eggs chance in Antarctica of sperminating a treated two by four.
What changed ? Well you know it as well as I do. Free trade. (not fair trade)Trading with countries who are out for their own best interests, (don't hold that against them) but aren't really enemies. We invented half the shit they build. OK, they have excelled in it, but they have, but principle that are not only foreign to us, but also regugnant to those who think in the long term. The basic principle is that government has filed us. They have failed to recognize foreign and trade policies that are not in our best interest. They implemented just around the time things, REAL things starting going down. Remember before when less was more ? Betcha don't.
Remember in other countries as well when things were better. I hear a few good things, mostly putting us down because of a bunch of shit, which is mostly true. Like what we spend on military and medical, and a few other things.
How did this happen ? Big money made bigger money. They bought the game. This was the best game in town, while we still made our first Wife the racecar, they got their "better" policies in. Better for them.
So if this contry's economy is so important, wasn't it the government's job to keep an eye on it ? Back to 1933, to STAY in power FDR did what he did. What President would get reelected by people who starved to death ?
If you don't understand by now that this is all a class war, you never will. When was the last time you met a senator, or how about a congressman, the mayor, a city councilman, the DOG CATCHER ! But you do meet city inspectors from time to time.
OK, that was too colloquial, but the point is, do they ever get any direct input from people who can say "I got X people who are going to vote your ass out, no matter who opposes you". We can't get the solidarity together for any influence on a city coucilman.
And THAT is what must change.
