We're a nation in decline, and so of course a great amount of that decline is going to land on the doorstep of the American worker.
You like your two-earner household, where both mother and father have to work to make ends meet, where money issues are the number one family value day in and day out, where working to see that your kids do better than you did is replaced by hoping that they might do as well,
well, keep this up. Cheer it on.
Plenty of people live well and even raise a family on one income.
The problem is that doing so means sacrifice and planning; two things that most Americans refuse to do.
Your refusal to accept reality is not my concern.
btw, Unions have been declining and losing power in this country since the 1960's. My question to all of you who are so happy with that...
when does it start getting better for the American worker?
So you refuse to believe that people can live on one income when there are many who do just that and you say I do not accept reality?
I find that telling.
And the American worker is responsible for himself. i never had any trouble finding enough work to pay my bills.
The problem you people have is that you think that you should only work 40 hours a week and that that one job should be enough to buy a house put 4 kids through college and provide a pension until you die.
If that's not a denial of reality I don't know what is.
Why shouldn't it? Why does life have to be a struggle (for the other guy of course) for conservatives to be happy.
Life is a struggle. It's the struggle that makes us strong. Instead of running from it you should embrace it.
Why do you denigrate the most modest and unselfish of American dreams, i.e., the dream of being able to have a reasonably happy and secure life for yourself and your family??
Where did I denigrate anything? If you think you can buy a house raise a family have 3 cars 4 cell phones a TV in every room put kids through college AND save enough for retirement on one 40 hour a week job screwing in 2 nuts and a bolt on an assembly line you are delusional.
You can have whatever you want and as much of whatever you want but the catch is you have to sacrifice and plan to do it. And let's face the reality here most people do not sacrifice and they do not plan.
In fact most people spend more time planning their 2 week vacation that they can't afford than they do planning their budgets. They reap what they sow and it's no one's fault but their own.
It's a recipe for disaster but it's the favorite of Americans.
What is wrong with you people? Seriously...
There's nothing wrong with me what's wrong with you that you want more than you are willing to work for?
