With a broken economy and an ever more dysfunctional political system and with business people thinking more of the money grab than it’s people. With employees feeling like numbers, I have just finished Sasha Abramsky’s The American Way of Poverty.” Being written in the Spirit of Michael Harringtons (1962) “The Other America,” where one in two, Americans living in poverty through “NO” fault of their own (CHINA has our Jobs.) https://www.facebook.com/AmericanWayUSA business/retailers-less-than-cheerful-over-christmas-sales.html
People being tossed aside like used baggage because the company relocated or has a revolving door effect to save on wage and benefits. As the richest 1% maintain their need for 20% of the annual income ~ which is the widest gap since 1927 through the last great depression. With Detroit on the verge of abyss: what pulled us from despair and out of the forties were people coming out of their corrupt mindset and producing the greatest generation. That’s the lesson learned from the Great Depression 0f the 20’s, 30’s and int0 the 40’s !
My Father always said, “true American’s don’t screw over another true American.” This Downward Death Spiral with Corporate Greed, while sending this country into a tail spin. It’s Something we can recover from when and only when Government starts listening to business, and business leaders start listening to employees concerns once again. With people setting themselves upon full time jobs only to have their magical dream pulled out from under them with part time positions. While showing some compassion for your fellow man with the moral of the story being told here in these troubled times!?!?! business/detroit-bankruptcy-forges-ahead-who-will-foot-bill
People are growing weary as our President plans another Hawaiian Holiday with little regard, and still President Bush gets blamed for the crisis and some American’ s question Obama’s Faith in Americans and corporations using the revolving door effect for short term gain with no benefits as a part time employee or temporary label. Is this the answer our political and business leaders really want (streets ridden with crime ~ malaise.) Learning they can’t have their cake and eat it too?
As those leaders won’t even ask for reasonable or rational solutions from those that have experience and have some answers for them. The facts on poverty or health care are vital without dumping people on the so called Death Panels without right of insurance and stage IV cancer. That Obama in the White House wants, are crazy ideals in a civilized nation of great thinkers. Solitarius.org provides the answers to cancer when you decide to look in the right places, time by the right people.
