This guy has it totally right, too bad for the apologist on the left.
If you're a lefty read the complete article, you might learn something. Here's a taste, the rest at the link.

I started mikeroweWORKS to talk about these issues, and shine a light on a few million good jobs that no one seems excited about. But mostly, I wanted to remind people that real opportunity still exists for those individuals who are willing to work hard, learn a skill, and make a persuasive case for themselves. Sadly, you see my efforts as “right wing propaganda.” But why? Are our differences really political? Or is it something deeper? Something philosophical?

You wrote that, “people want to work.” In my travels, I’ve met a lot of hard-working individuals, and I’ve been singing their praises for the last 12 years. But I’ve seen nothing that would lead me to agree with your generalization. From what I’ve seen of the species, and what I know of myself, most people – given the choice – would prefer NOT to work. In fact, on Dirty Jobs, I saw Help Wanted signs in every state, even at the height of the recession. Is it possible you see the existence of so many unfilled jobs as a challenge to your basic understanding of what makes people tick?

Mike Rowe Told People are Sick of his Right Wing Propaganda Response is EPIC
 
I like Mike Rowe, he is an excellent example of what a conservative populist ought to be, focused on working class America rather than the ultra-wealthy "job creators", upbeat, positive can-do attitude, no apparent meanness. If republicans were more like him I would consider voting for a few of them. Unfortunately they tend to be blackholes of negativity, bitterness and a "we can't afford to be great anymore" fatalism.

Who the fuck are you talking to? Who here has said that working hard, learning a skill and making a case for yourself are 'right wing propaganda'?

Who are 'you people'? I work my ass off. Most of the 'lefties' that I know work their asses off. Who is trash talking the efficacy of work? Some random person that Mike Rowe chose to respond to?

According to many lefties there are no good paying jobs available, he pointed to that as the lie it is. The little entitled folks think those jobs are beneath them, if you bothered to actually read the article, he talked to employers who said, applicants who can pass the drug test, lack the basic soft skills to get and keep a job. That's a problem with the culture, not business.

Most "lefties" recognize those problems but it does not tell the whole story. Wage growth is flat and education is getting ever more expensive. Working-class jobs are not the stepping stone to the middle class they used to be, that is a structural flaw in the system.

No the biggest flaw in the system is folks thinking they can enter the main stream work force with massive tattoos, piercings, pants around your knees and pink or purple hair.Also like he said in the article they are telling kids to get an education, go in debt, for jobs that really don't exist in large numbers anymore. Also this notion that any job is beneath anyone is a fable that needs busting. I worked some really crappy, nasty jobs in my life, but I never got one day of unemployment because I was raised with the ethic of if you need work, you take what you can get until something better comes along. People aren't raising their kids that way now.

There are more than enough "normal" looking people in the country that feel totally uninspired about the necessity of work. A middle class life style used to be the carrot that made working a shit job worth it. Laboring for mere survival in this country is like treading water amidst speedboats. When working class-wages begin to rise again you may correctly tout the dignity and rewards of honest labor but until then you must understand that we face some serous challenges that simply pulling up your pants will not solve.

You don't even make sense. We know Republicans hate education. Look at Rick Santorum. When Obama said we need to make education available to everyone, Santorum called Obama a "snob". He said there are millions of hard working Americans who have never been indoctrinated by liberal college professors to a cheering crowd of ignorant Republicans. It's Republicans who have no skills. The ignorant base has bought into the propaganda of their fucked up leaders. It's why business wants immigrants with degrees because Republicans are not capable of competing. The GOP base is losing their jobs to unskilled labor overseas and robots, all put together by the very corporations they worship as "Gods" even referring to them as the job "CREATORS", where from all good flows. No one is screwing over the GOP base more than the leaders they idolize. And they do it for two reasons. First, they "vote white". Second, they hate Obama because he isn't white. Until they deny their racism, which is the foundation of that odious party, they are so fucked.
 
Conservatives put the "working class" to work.

Liberals pay the "working class" not to work.

End of fucking story.
To work doing what? Infrastructure? Republicans fight that. Teaching? What, the earth is 6,000 years old? That's stupid and ignorant shit. Work in the fields? Republicans will never lower themselves to do that kind of work. It's something slaves used to do. What's left? Minimum wage jobs with no benefits? Many Republicans are already doing that.

So what is it Republicans are qualified for? Preach nonsense? With those worthless Bible degrees? I call a Bachelor in Bible Study a BS Degree. Good luck with that.

Putting people to work and paying people a decent wage are two different things. Conservatives could not care less if anyone makes enough to pay rent in the city where they live or can afford child care or any of the other things that makes it possible to make it in the this increasingly dog-eat-dog country. No, conservatives want cheap labor that will work for chicken feed and like it.

Democrats say, Republicans do.

Sick and dying Liberals will pull out any stop to push their agenda to the last breath.

Breath your best, my man. Your last was exhaled years ago. :slap:

Sometimes survival during hard times is all you got, been there, done that. People now days just quit trying, you only need to look at the work force participation rate, I have no sympathy for them when there are millions of low skilled jobs going unfilled.
