Service jobs... shit pay. Service jobs are for those starting out in adult life... you know beginners jobs not careers.
No, not true either. There are 5 million jobs in the US going begging because idiots like you don't have enough education to do them. What you need is re-training, not jobs. The jobs are there - the workers, not so much.
I have been self-employed for over 20 years, its the American way… Or at least should be. Not so much anymore since Socialism has been strengthened over the last couple decades.
Being self-employed is NOT the American way and never has been. Most people work for Corporations - large ones, small ones. That's why Republicans give business owners tax breaks - they're "job creators".
But the "creators" need workers, and consumers to buy their goods. Republicans are dumbing down education, and flat-lined wages are killing consumerism. The Middle Class has exhausted its savings and its equity, because Republicans continue to support a tax code which uses middle class taxes to subsidize the largest corporate profits since the Guilded Age.
Wages have to keep pace with the money going to the top. They have not. The tax code has always been a delicate balancing act - giving the investing class sufficient incentive to keep striving, and the working class enough money to give them a chance at the American Dream.
The American Dream is now out of reach of most Americans, and the chances of achieving it slimmer than ever. You rail against programs which get poor kids into Ivy League Colleges, but say nothing about "legacies" - the automatic admission of the sons and daughters of alumnai which unfairly favours the rich and powerful.
You think party boy George W. Bush got into Harvard and Yale with his C-student grades, on his merits? Or did he get in because his Daddy was a wealthy Yale graduate and the Speaker of the House?
