You have a former work force and children of the former work force who simply have nothing to do...The middle class is fading- the traditional blue collar class or the manufacturing workers is all but gone...Don't call the the poor lazy...call the corporations weasels and creeps.

It would be nice if these corporations who are so filled with greed and offshore jobs to India or China....move to India and China...Why should these executives and upper middle management have the luxury of living in the USA - when they have betrayed the workers who gave them their start and made them rich?

A corporate head does not need a 25 million dollar bonus...The need a 2 million dollar bonus...When they are overly compensated it simply means that they have taken from the American poor - stolen from them under the guise of internationalism... The bottom line is ...pay some skinny creep in India 4000 dollars a year....and keep the balance of the money that should have gone to Americans.

A man or woman will water their own garden. It is not about laziness...It's about diverting the water away from their garden and watering the neighbors ...charity begins at home...Not in damned China...to hell with China.
Great post!

LOL!!!! Great and funny way to put it. Pretty much sums it up in a nutshell. They truly are simply surplus and excess labor not needed at this time. But the way you put it is unfortunately the base reality when you boil the situation down to the base reality.

The top 20% of jobs are truly the last vestige of the middle class. Maybe the next 10% can be included as well depending on where you live. The lower 70-80% is almost glorified slave labor. It's truly hand to mouth city and chances are there will not be a lot if any left to leave the family after burial unless your family acquired a surplus in the heyday of middle America and passed that on through savings/investments. Those starting out with only a salary now days, with no future inheritance to look forward to or other extra help money wise from some place and who will never see a top 20% salary are sunk before the game begins. Not saying it's right or wrong just that it's the case today. This was not the case 30-40 years ago and before but it seems to be the case now.

Love the way you put it in your post though oleg bach. And I like the rest of your post as well. I pretty much agree. Repped.
Agreed. It is a hard reality, but, reality nonetheless.

Except for you, of course. I'm glad someone has such a clear understanding of the mindset of the nation. I won't have to worry now that you have everything covered.

Look at it this way- with the nation so lost, there is a world of opportunity out there for the ambitious. Turn off your computer, come out of the basement and go be happy.

BRILLIANT. Go out side young man...the graphics are fantastic...don't expect to generate a future clicking the keys...as for "be happy" - the economy keeps moving if you have a happy populace...get depressed and economic depression sets in. GO FOR IT...YOU OWN THE WORLD.
