Reply #146: Yes. We. Can. Compete with the World.

The American Working Class just needs to accpet the fact that:

* Less than $4.00 per day is the NEW median wage for workers

*We cannot possibly afford Work Place Safety and Environmental Protections

*Children of the lower 98% really don't need to be wasting time in schools.
Every family member in the Working Class (including children) should enter the work force

*Paid vacation, Sick Leave, Overtime, and 40 HR week are quaint relics of the past

*Luxuries for the Working Class like Health Care and Retirement need to be tossed aside so we can "WIN"

---If the Working Class does all the above, THEN we can be "competitive" in the World Labor market
Like it or not, THAT is where we are now headed.

The top 1% has been reassured that they will NEVER know a day of discomfort, even when they make BAD investments.
THAT was the problem in the last Gilded Age..
When the RICH made bad investments, they lost their money.
NOW, with the wisdom and foresight of the Republicans & Centrist Democrats,
THAT doesn't happen.
When the RICH lose money,
they simply take more form the children of the Working Class!!!!
Problem solved!!!

New and Improved Gilded Age 2.0, here we come.
