Seems like you read only what you wanted too.Why can't it be both?In "The Grapes of Wrath" we saw what happens when workers stand up for a fair wage. We also saw the Government was the only ones to give the migrants a fair break
In "The Grapes of Wrath" we say workers toiling all day doing menial tasks. We also saw them more in debt at the end of the day than when they started
What conservatives call........Worker Utopia
The views in Grapes of Wrath are quite clear. Steinbeck was accused of socialism
Steinbeck was a complete communist, but he inadvertently proved that people will do whatever they need to to survive. It's like Ashton Kutcher said, there's never a job that he had that he was better than. But people don't have that attitude today and would rather be on welfare than pick produce. Steinbeck's early 20th century days were characterized by valuing hard work and even somebody like Steinbeck had a character of solid steel compared to you Leftists today. Even communists didn't believe that stuff should just be given to people.
Americans are the most productive workers on earth. They put in more hours, have less vacation and fewer benefits
