I have to start by telling a story. When I was first living with my wife, I was working UNION Construction. With that comes the layoff at the completion of the job. When my mother-in-law found out that I would no longer have a job, she proceeded to talk with my former employer about finding me something to do for them, In short she went asking for my job back. I never did get to work for that employer again. I personally had nothing to do with what she did and wouldn't have because it was fishing season. I have no idea what she was thinking.

As for lazy kids these days, I do not see what the problem is. Why would anyone wish to try to produce for an employer that cares more about their profits and shareholders then it does for their employees. I have a good friend who has worked for a large chain company. in her 4 years of employment she has gone from 8 dollars and hour to just about 12. they provide no benefits for her, and keep her below 32 hours a week for that very reason. she has had to pick up a second job just to make ends meet, and she considers herself lucky. She is also collage educated.

As for the problem, this was started by my parents. the Hippies for the 60's did the same thing until their mommy and daddy cut them off. Most decided to take the easy road and took what was offered to them instead of standing up for what was right.

For progress and the addition of Machines that do our work for us and the need to use Capital to do it, I disagree. Americas greats asset is still its people and big business knows and is afraid of this. So they throw us a bone ever now and then to make us feel better. I can prove this theory. lets take three piles. one pile we have money. one pile we have man. and the last pile will be material. now we combine two and we will start with material and money, what gets done? nothing. next we pile money and man, what gets done.nothing. now we combine man and material, what gets done...the list is endless. The whole of capital is B.S and america needs to figure that out.
