Last night I thought I might be losing my 5th shift each week. Can’t keep doing Sunday mornings without getting a ride, until we have the car fixed or another one. This morning I got it back. Whew.<\/p>\n
We’ve been having some really rough times in the US lately. Some idiots who want poor people to have nothing shut down the government for a couple weeks. And the other idiots waste their time calling me a tool of the left because I think people deserve better than we are getting under the current generation of robber barons.<\/p>\n
It’s simple. The workers create the wealth. At certain times in our history, the company owners paid the workers a decent percentage of the wealth they created. During these times, the entire nation prospered, regardless of the tax rate on the company owners (sometimes as high as 60%, sometimes as low as 29%, but it’s below that now and there are lots of dodges that can make it 0%). The wealthy have figured out that they fund the government, and are trying to buy the government so they don’t have to fund so much. This leaves all the people who created their wealth, either as workers or consumers, with nothing. OK, just a little more than nothing. This is not a good economy.<\/p>\n
If you disagree, stop reading. Shouldn’t bother too many, the most number of readers to this blog to date has been 10.<\/p>\n
