Bullshit, We are choosing to let our Golden Age end, but we lack leaders with Balls like the Ones that Created our Golden age in the First place.
yeah...like organized labor leaders who got Americans down to a 40 hour workweek and living wages where people had money to spend to keep the economy rolling.
But since private sector unions have been castrated and private sector labor is in fear of losing even more while those GODS of the business world keep their heels firmly planted on their throats, all the while screaming poverty when they've been raking in more than ever in the history if this country....we are fucked.
Look to foreign markets to replace our former buying power. The Conglomerate doesn't need us anymore.....they can manufacture their goods at a fraction of the labor cost and sell those goods globally. The United States is the victim of economic Treason by corporations who "pride" themselves on being "American".
and i see people wanting to work more than 40 all the time so give it a rest.
Salaried people are always encouraged to put in more time at the office while hourlies are shown the door promptly at 5:00 PM.
