The Economic Collapse
Friday, October 21, 2011
Today, millions of smart, hard working Americans are flipping burgers, waiting tables or working dead end retail jobs not because they want to, but because they have no other options. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, about 14 million Americans are currently unemployed and another 9.3 million Americans are currently “underemployed”. During this economic downturn, a lot of Americans have been forced to take part-time jobs because they have been unable to find full-time jobs. For many, this can be a soul-crushing experience. It can be easy to become very bitter when you have worked very hard all your life and yet you find yourself having to take a job that only pays you a fraction of what you used to make. A lot of young college graduates end up hating life because the only jobs that they can seem to find do not even require a college degree and don’t even come close to enabling them to keep up with their crippling student loan debt payments. Sadly, the underemployment problem continues to grow even worse. In September alone, the number of underemployed Americans rose by close to half a million.
There are other measurements that indicate that unemployment in America is even worse that the Bureau of Labor Statistics is indicating.
For example, a recent Gallup poll found that approximately one out of every five Americans that currently have a job consider themselves to be underemployed.
In addition, according to author Paul Osterman about 20 percent of all U.S. adults are currently working jobs that pay poverty-level wages.
When you try as hard as you can and you still can’t pay the bills, it is easy to end up hating life.
What some Americans are going through is absolutely heart breaking. Just consider the following story from a recent article on Fox News….
Damian Birkel, of Winston-Salem N.C., found himself in similar circumstances. He was a marketing manager at Sarah Lee in the early 1990s when he was downsized. Since then, he has been laid off from three other jobs, including one at a recruiting firm.
“I felt like I had ‘loser’ tattooed to my forehead, and ‘will work for food’ tattooed to my chest,” he says.
The hardest part was telling his young daughter that there might not be enough money to pay the bills — among them, sending her to summer camp. “She brings her piggy bank and says, ‘Daddy, why don’t you break into the piggy bank so that you can pay some of the bills.’”
How would you feel if your little daughter said that to you?

Unfortunately, the number of good jobs just continues to decrease.
There are fewer payroll jobs in the United States today than there were back in 2000 even though we have added 30 million extra people to the population since then.
And the mix of jobs that our economy is producing continues to change.
Back in 1980, less than 30% of all jobs in the United States were low income jobs. Today, more than 40% of all jobs in the United States are low income jobs.
What that means is that the middle class is shrinking.
A lot of young people are coming out of college right now and are having their dreams absolutely crushed. Large numbers of them are entering the “real world” with nightmarish student loan debt burdens and only a limited number of them can find decent jobs.
A recent USA Today article told the story of one of these very frustrated young Americans….
Kate Wolfe chased a dream when she moved to New York after college, looking to break into acting while working as a maître d’.
Her $50,000 worth of student loans were a distraction she could handle. Then the uninsured 25-year-old was mugged last year, and the final indignity was the $30,000 emergency room bill.
We are pumping out tons of college graduates, but we are not pumping out nearly enough jobs for all of them.
If you can believe it, in the United States today there are 317,000 waiters and waitresses that actually have college degrees.
That is an absolutely horrifying statistic.
But the truth is that the lack of good jobs is hitting every age level really hard.
For example, the average American family is under a tremendous amount of financial stress in this economy. Once you adjust it for inflation, median household income in the United States has declined approximately 10 percent since December 2007.
Meanwhile, the cost of food, gas, health insurance and just about everything else a family needs has gone up significantly.
Our politicians keep talking about “jobs, jobs, jobs” but the number of decent jobs continues on a very clear downward trend.
Back in 1980, 52 percent of all jobs in the United States were middle income jobs. Today, only 42 percent of all jobs in the United States are middle income jobs.
Sadly, it now looks like even the low income jobs are starting to dry up.
Mall vacancies recently hit a brand new all-time record. Major retail chains all over the country are announcing layoffs. Things do not look very promising for the upcoming holiday season.
So what are our leaders doing about all of this?
Well, unfortunately they continue to fumble the football very badly.
According to a recent ABC News report, the U.S. government actually gave a $529 million loan guarantee to an electric car company that decided to make its cars in Finland….
Vice President Joseph Biden heralded the Energy Department’s $529 million loan to the start-up electric car company called Fisker as a bright new path to thousands of American manufacturing jobs. But two years after the loan was announced, the job of assembling the flashy electric Fisker Karma sports car has been outsourced to Finland.
If we don’t figure out how to stop millions of jobs from leaving this country we are going to be in a world of hurt.
The trade policies of the federal government are neither “free” nor “fair” and they are causing the standard of living of American workers to rapidly sink toward the level of the rest of the world.
- A d v e r t i s e m e n t
We are told that it is “inevitable” that we are going to be deindustrialized and that we are going to become a service economy.
But guess what?
Service jobs generally pay a lot less than manufacturing jobs do.
A “one world economy” where our labor force is merged with the labor forces of the rest of the globe is not a good thing for the average American worker and it is not a good thing for America.
But of course trade is not the only reason why we are losing good jobs. There are a whole bunch of reasons why this is happening. For many more reasons, just check out this article.
A lot of you that are reading this article are unemployed or underemployed right now.
Unfortunately, there is not much hope that the U.S. economy is going to experience a significant turnaround any time soon.
In fact, it is likely that things are going to be getting even worse.
Our economic system is dying. Now is the time to try to get as independent of it as you can.
Don’t count on a job (“just over broke”) as your only source of income. In this economy, no job is safe.
There are millions upon millions of unemployed and underemployed Americans that never dreamed that their lives would go so horribly wrong.
But they did.
Our nation is experiencing the consequences of decades of very bad decisions.
There is no help on the horizon and the calvary is not on the way to rescue us.
You better prepare accordingly.

when I was growing up, it was much like our parents and grandparents childhood being it was “pre-electronic- everything” and playing anything indoors meant you were being punished. Going into the workforce in the 1980′s for me was very depressing, the computer age had started and it took PEOPLE to hand-wire circuit-boards and manual assembly to put the computers together and it took PEOPLE to upgrade everyone’s standard of living to the “electronic age” where nearly everything being manufactured was having computer like stuff put into them.
Then it was time to create a new buzz word, “outsource” and it was made to be that a lot more money can be made by hiring slaves in other countries and just having to pay 1 bribe to the local warlord with no regulations or other profit-loss concerns about the enviorment, safety, taxes or tarriffs.
At the same time corporations have completed their merger with big banks and politicians to make the profit margin the GOD they now pray to and chasing the almighty dollar over any other concerns which has transferred our entire manufacturing base offshore and leaving ordinary Americans to compete on an uneven playing field of slave-labor wherever it is available.
Until our government changes its primary concern to the welfare of its citizens on an equal level so that ALL of us can have a fair shot of making something of yourself through hard work and smart saving/investment, we will continue the downward slide to 3rd world obscurity and lawless conduct that rewards the bad people for screwing over this country.
I worked for 30+ years until Benzene gave me a great big dose of cancer that has left me a shadow of my former self. Benzene, is a KNOWN carcinogen and is in EVERY petroleum product made. Our very own government IGNORES it’s responsibility to PROTECT its citizens in favor of chasing the almighty dollar. It has also given me the time to find out the who, what, where, when, and how that brought me and so many other Americans to our knees.
The people in power in 1913 decided to give our financial control as a soverign COUNTRY over to a PRIVATE bank known as the federal reserve as a payback for help winning an election. Banks only reason for being is to MAKE A PROFIT. period. As their money grew so did their power and infuence.
That simple reason is why we are in the mess we are in right now.
When patriotism and protectionism and isolationism come back into power with morals, values, and taking care of your fellow citizen as a goal, then we will again prosper as a nation. If we keep going the way we have been then most of the citizens in this country will end up waiting in line to be serviced into the walk-in ovens at one of the 800 FEMA camps the government currently has up and running and just itching for a chance to declare martial law so it can get that ball rolling.
Either way it goes, you and your loved ones should have basic survival supplies, guns ammo, a go-bag, and an emergency plan worked out for the just in case.

I’m sorry you’re going through the health issues. I totally understand the chemical poisoning although a different story than yours it is horrendous just the same.
But do you really expect that corporations who are now enjoying higher profits (although from whom I don’t understand) that they’ll come back to the US to build their products when they’ve enjoyed having them built for a dollar a day by slaves? I don’t see it happening in any of our lifetimes unfortunately.

As I have said all along Bellrun…… REPEAL GATT.
Put in a system of tariffs designed to Level the playing field then it will ALWAYS be cheaper to make it at home because TRANSPORT is not a factor.
Put Tariffs in based on wages, conditions and the Waste management of the manufacturing process.
Pay slave wages, In a sweat shop and dump toxic chemicals in a river and your Tariffs raise the price SO HIGH THEY GO OUT OF BUSINESS and stop polluting.
Or they Clean up their act and pay a decent wage then the tariff goes down but the cost of manufacture goes up.
Either way LOCAL is Competitive again.

Very true with what you say but there’s even more problems than what you listed that are impossible to avoid at this point. As you see all of the rioting in other countries it’s not just country specific but due to the US economical meltdown. Since we own the reserve currency status which most things imported and exported price based upon our weakening dollar is effecting the entire world. All of our spending, borrowing and debt has screwed everyone involved. Other countries are already holding meetings, without the US in attendance, to opt out of using the US dollar any longer. Considering we can print the reserve currency, we would lose that ability that’s the only reason we have stayed afloat this long.
Another problem is stock market derivatives. Anything can have one on it. I liken it to legalized Wall Street gambling on whether something goes up or down in value but without investing into the stock. One could invest into a risky stock hoping it goes up in value to sell but also put a derivative on it that it may lower in value. Lowering the risk of losses. Called hedging your bet. The crazy part of all of this is in the entire world there is about 70 trillion dollars of actual money but these derivatives are at any point and time more than all of the actual monies on the planet. Often double the total amount, counting every country. This alone could crash the markets and everyone loses everything.
You wont hear these two items on the MSM.

Those people are in jail for under-reporting their income, that’s tax evasion. The only way you can catch that charge is if you file a fraudulent tax return. If you don’t file, they try and intimidate you into doing so and if you don’t, they just file it for you based on the info that was reported to them. They only file for you if the amount owed will be $500 or greater, otherwise it is closed “little or no tax due” because it’s not worth pursuing.
Bullrun1861 Reply:

They base it on single/one exemption if prior return was single, or married-separate/one exemption if prior return was married. They will not factor in EIC for you because they’re not trying to help you. After the return is more than 3 years past due and you file, you will forfeit any refund due to you.

Unless you own your own business you have no choice on taxes being removed from your paycheck and not filing could lead you into owing more taxes because the IRS is not going to add ANY deductions for you. If the IRS already has your tax dollars then you are better off filing with deductions to get a return that is more than if you do not.
You go work for a company that does not remove taxes and a 1099 is involved requiring you to pay the taxes yourself but those jobs are not very common but you could then just keep th tax money and refuse to pay it and see what happens.
If they charge you with tax evasion you could end up in prison as well but there have been cases where people charged with this fought it and won because the DA couldn’t show the court where it says by law we are required to even pay income tax.

Actually due to my occupation I get extremely good tax deductions, although really not paid that well, but I get money back so really I’m not that concerned with income tax. Mainly the Fed, printing and secret trillion dollars loans and bailouts. I have many ideas that are outside the box and much bigger than a bread box.
Besides the US and European MSM taking Mahmoud Ahmadinejad out of context and making into the devil to attack, support Zionist Israel and steal their oil.. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said one of the most intelligent things. Never admitted by our own US government, MSM or anywhere logic lives.
He said.. and paraphrasing.. “when an independent is elected president of the United States then it truly would be a Democracy”.. and guess what? He is correct.
“How would you feel if your little daughter said that to you?”
See that is the thing, I grew up that way, and it happened to my kids who would offer their piggy banks when times were tough. So now it’s happening to some who were CEO’s and guess what, welcome to the real world!
You are right, BigP that is totally untrue.
It is absolutely a crime to not file, especially if you owe money. That is called tax evasion and it definitely a crime that carries prison terms and/or additional fines and penalities. If you don’t have the money to pay for lawyers, they will haul you away.
It is not always a crime to make a mistake on a return, but it is if you willfully lie, such as claiming your cat as a dependent, for example. This is tax fraud.
For all the people who think it isn’t legal for the IRS to do this, well just try it and see who gets to make the final point.

Teebry, you are so very wrong, and only adding to the confusion! Sure there are penalties for failure to file failure to pay, but that is only if you are going to owe when exam looks at the info they have on you for that year. Just because you owe doesn’t mean they can collect. If you move your bank account around each year, they will levy an empty account. Same goes for jobs, if they don’t know where you work and bank then they will get nothing. The statute of limitations is 10 years, only for returns you actually filed. If they file for you there is no statute of limitations. I hope you understand how this works now.

teebry…that is not true in every case.
My friend’s father hasn’t paid income taxes in thirty years. The IRS called him up and told him that he hasn’t filed a return in ages and asked him why has he not filed.
The old man told him, “Look, I am an ex-druggie and alcoholic from the partying sixties and live from week to week doing construction work.” “I rent a double-wide and own a old rusty pickup truck that’s worth about a thousand bucks that I need to go to work, and have no other assets in my name.” “I am sober fifteen years now, work and go fishing…that is my life.” “If there is something you want from me, then feel free to do what you have to do to take it from me.”
The IRS man replied, “Thank you sir, have a nice day.”
That was fifteen years ago and the old man has never heard from the IRS ever again.

Noone will read any newspapers. They are used for toilet paper. The upscale class will be able to afford a train tricket once a year to ride into the state owned stores and buy some new shoes.

I do understand how to fix things but that’s a long list of things but I’m not in the position and power t do such or I would. Many of the things Ron Paul has stated he would do immediately if he became president is very similar to my ideas. Major spending cuts. Like cutting various Dept.’s entirely, bring all military back to the US including Korea and the other 130 bases we have around the world, ending all foreign aid, etc, and also ending the Fed. This would be a good start but I would go much further putting heavy tariffs on all imports, especially China, and it would force these American corporations to manufacture here in the US. Tariffs so heavy they would have no choice. If they can’ afford to import and actually lose money trying they would have no choice but to shutdown overseas manufacturing plants and this would create jobs here. Continue tax breaks for businesses and let all people under a certain age to opt out of paying for various programs like Social Security and Medicare. All people receiving welfare be required to take semi-annual health exams and drug testing to remove all smokers, drinkers and the obese plus random drug tests. If they cannot stay abstinent they lose benefits. If they stay obese they will be required to attend biweekly exercise programs or they lose benefits. All of those unemployed will need to prove they are looking for work and by this time corporations will already be constructing their new facilities here due to the tariffs. Re-regulate Wall Street and end derivatives entirely from the game. Lower the salaries of members of the house and senate with a lowered retirement plan and longer time spent in office to receive these lifetime payments. Build up deep sea oil drilling in mass around the coast and work on shell oil production. Invest into farming as well in this country and remove all GMO foods and hit Monsanto so hard they leave with non GMO tax incentives to these farmers. Remove our need for foreign products entirely and make it too financially devastating to import by these mega corporations. That’s the main and only reason capitalism has failed because our jobs are shipped overseas an not replaced with anything but a service job to help sell the stuff. We have become a mostly service industry country and that has to stop immediately. Seal our border with Mexico for good and kick all the illegals in this country out in a nationwide sweep. They drain our economy and pay little back into sending most money back home to Mexico. Make the penalties for entering this country so severe they wouldn’t chance it. INstead of wasting prison space and funding their incarceration make them live in tent cities on bread and water and for so long they’d be happy to leave the US for good. End the Patriot Act immediately and all other privacy raping bills immediately.
There’s many more small things like ridding of government agencies like the TSA (and remove all scanners), FEMA (and their tents but could be used for captured illegals), etc. I’m definitely in favor of ending just about anything that starts with “the Dept. of..”. We don’t need any of them and just more tentacles that have grown out of this oversized federal government.

Another very important thing I left out is end all of these restrictions and building codes and taxes on small business but especially for new businesses. Even more importantly production facilities starting up would get the largest tax breaks. Make it as attractive as it can be for any company from any country to want to start businesses here in the US. End many of the environmental restrictions we have. It stifles businesses, current or starting. Besides cheap labor overseas the other reason our jobs are being shipped over there is less restrictions and burdens. Maybe even have a zero tax for the 1st year or two and then into a reasonable rate. One of the main reason China has been so successful is the government invests and owns most of the corporations and for two important reasons. The don’t restrict their own growth as in this country and they don’t rape themselves just as in this country these corporations (which includes banking of course) do. Food for thought. Less regulation, low corporate taxes, tax incentives for new businesses as well as current small and for farmers. Grow the food here and without GMO’s!
no matter witch way you slice the apple it all comes down to money.

And 47% of the population pays no taxes. Sure, but they pay payroll taxes and state taxes. That statement is such bull. I and my wife pay $12 an hour total deductions including federal, state, fica, social security, medicare, and excluding what we pay for health insurance and retirement. If $12 an hour in deductions isn’t paying taxes I don’t know what is. What the government is pissed about is that two-income families that dropped down to one income are no longer in that higher tax bracket which usually means they owe the government, the government doesn’t owe them. So, stated differently, the 47% figure that fox news and others constantly spew out of their mouths is really 47% don’t owe the government anything. The government either breaks even with them or the government owes them at tax time because they paid too much in taxes or something changed in their personal situation or the tax code that created the refund. I’m sorry, but no middle-class family should have $12 an hour deducted from their pay, period. And don’t forget, your employer also pays social security, fica, medicare, medicaid, etc… So the government is $15 trillion in debt and has collected roughly $30,000 a year from my family. Gee, think about all the other families that have paid that and more and the government is $15 trillion in debt! What a croc!

Being underemployed is not necessarily bad, as long as you can make ends meet and are free to pursue happiness elsewhere — like we could in the 50s and 60s. Dad could go to the factory and rivet all day but at least he could drive his car to his house where mom had dinner ready.

While less qualified workers from other countries get their jobs. This is happening throughout the West. There is an Agenda here, to demoralise the indigenous population and it appears to be working.
There’s nothing heartbreaking about the situation in America.
Compared to the vast majority of the world’s people even the average homeless person in the USA is living like a king.
Heartbreaking is having your country’s infrastructure bombed to the stone age, foreign troops occupying your streets and murdering 20% of your people, babies being born with 2 heads from depleted uranium munitions, prisons where your people are tortured to death, and hundreds of thousands of children dying from malnutrition and disease that could have been prevented.
We vets know a thing or 2 about what really constitutes “heartbreaking”, and it sure as hell aint what’s going on in america right now.
What the folks in america are finally realizing is that the grand materialistic party of benefitting from the forced militaristic oppression of 80% of the world’s people (via the trickle down effect of their vicious imperialist empire) is finally coming to an inevitable, grinding halt.
yes, there will indeed emerge the conditions of “heartbreaking” in the american heartland in the very near future; that will be when the american cities are being bombed and the people are being rounded up sent to fema camps.
At that time citizens will remember the “good ol days” when they were working dead end retail jobs and living the good life.

I met a Starbucks coffee pourer with a degree in English Literature from Brown University. Her manager had a degree in psychology from UNH.

At least you know the printing on the cups is grammatically correct and there is someone that knows how to deal with the mental issues concerning addicts and caffeine withdrawal at the pay register.

I’m not complaining sage, problem is the coffeeeee makes you wanna rap. Rather rap with a pretty English major than hippie psychologist.

Well taken. Are we expected to feel sorry for spoiled yuppie offspring who just want to do the “easy” jobs?
Yeah, no dirty work for this class. How about work as a plumber – get into some real backed-up toilet shit. Or, how about auto mechanic? Anymore, people can’t work on their own vehicle which they paid for, but the car maintenance-doctors own. Great $$$ and job security here.
The examples go on and the above is just preaching to the choir on this forum. Anyway, flush worthless Amer Lit and psych BS degrees. The best tack for these dreamers to save their spoiled asses: roll with REALITY. Pour coffee, persevere, read, research, and reach the realization that life was NEVER about the promise of wall-to-wall comfort and life-everlasting for spoiled America-brats. You’re born, you live, you die – no different from the rest of sorry humanity, just in you case you thought so.
Brown had a $60k student loan to pay off, the UNH grad $27k.

This generation seems doomed to Barbara Bush apartment life, unless they get a technology degree. The problem there is we’re allowing those high-pay engineering jobs to go to legal worker immigration from everywhere on the planet.

Public Private Bush-Perry capitalism doesn’t. If you want to become a millionaire start buying apartment buildings.
Socialize capitalism with farmers market co-ops as anchors at strip malls with co-op ownership. Create a synthesis, I’m not one for stopping an evolution that works for everyone. Ownership of the means of production is attainable, ironically, through the mechanism of Capitalism. Just remember not to involve Big Brother State.

Shop at other co-ops owned by a co-op. Competing co-ops will spring up to compete. Farmers, Artisans, mechanics, medical, legal(sure) co-ops etc. Shares can trade freely and workers apprenticing can acquire shares. How about local school co-ops where qualified talented teachers compete for providing the best education — the kind of teachers you never forget– a Private Public system not owned by Barbara Bush?

yes it does, but all to often it runs in conflict to domestic issues through competition of resources i.e. land, electricity, water etc.. and buiznesses usually wins out.
Which brings the question of coporate morality and social responsposible laws.
I feel Capitalism is a great vehicle for personal gain, but it should be voluntary and not a prerequisite for life itself because of competition for resources. people cant compete with it and its consumerism production is killing the planet.
Unemployed or underemployed? they looking for solutions to fix that why so those people can be able to pay rent to land lords and corrupt bankers FUCK THAT. Only Limiting land ownership and freeing people from the need to generate use and consume.
Do that and these unemployed figures would vaporise faster than a presidential promise.
Its like pollution issues, govts would rather tax the polluter but not stop the polluting, money cant stop pollution anymore than it can free a man. These govts want to get the economy pumping again so land lords (street level version of a bank overlord) get the money rolling in. more of the same slavery only now they would have learned some new tricks from all this to prevent keeping you locked into servitude and debt slavery. Fix it? (return to status quo) NO FUCKING WAY IN HELL.
give people there land back its simple and cures all.

“Commie” Pigeon hole me would you. Im not advocating the state allocate land free, that kind of benevolence is way into your evolutionary future. i say restrict land ownership to create a level playing field for home buyers. land lords spend fuck all if they dont have too and renters cant spend beyond there rent, theres no incentive there and banks take it all.
Can you not see the inequality its so obvious. this started with the housing crises dont forget.
and the problems of society stem from this single issue. solve that one issue you solve them all its that simply a 5yr old could figure it out. thats not communism its reforming a few laws
to bring social responsibility to governance. look a little deeper past your own pain!

Like I said, you’re a commie!
“Peace, land and bread.” That’s what the commies said in 1917, and that’s what you’re parroting now.
Want land? Go buy some, little boy.

My whore and crack houses are doing fine.
Business is booming and I will have to open up another apartment complex to house all my new single mothers and young indebted college grads on the payroll.
The local police have dispatched a couple more roving patrols to secure my investments for a meager sum over the usual monthly “security” fee.
When the Republicans or the Democrats some to town for presidential debates…well…we are usually all booked up for that week. I will e-bay auction off Obama’s crackpipe tomorrow along with the gay sex tape.

Nice come back bro. Whats ya thoughts about land lords and land ownership?
the sage Reply:

Land ownership can only be truly realized with unrestricted Allodial Title.
Which is pretty much not available to We the Slaves.
Some forms of limited Allodial Title exist, but there are restrictions and exceptions…which means someone is exercising authority over the designation. So it is not true unrestricted Allodial Title, which is you basically having the same rights over your land as the king or a noble…not subject to any superior or tax.
And any war can quickly remove you from your land no matter the owner or form of title.

Allodial Title means the criminal state can never annex your land for taxes. Sage is absolutely right. Fuck the parasite state, be you co-op or individual. I nearly walked away from my first house closing when I read my wife and I would be ‘Tenants in common, with right of survivorship’. The State and the banks have colluded to be able to steal your property nice and ‘legal-like’ when you lose your jobs peasants.

The State of Connecticut criminals went to the Supremes to steal waterfront property with a bullshit fat-cat pro-forma, Kelo v. Conn. Then after they fucked that family over in the ‘highest court’ in the land the criminals backed out of the deal.
Because of half-a$$ed racial laws, this White male was FORCED to take crappy jobs, so all I can say is, welcome to the club!
Start your own business like I did, and quit whining.

lets all produce crap we dont need just earn $ to pay land lords and banks. your killing the planet with that attitude and perpetuating debt slavery. Oh and having to do something for the sake of money and not by choice is prostitution.
Changing land ownership laws ends all that crap!

Don’t forget that the IRS is it’s collection branch.
In high school I made $9 an hour and worked full time during the summer, and now I have a BA and I’m hardly getting 20 hours a week at $7.25 an hour at a job I hate. Do I hate life? Yes.

we need a revolution….
I do empathize with these people who are struggling. I was laid off from the telecom industry ten years ago and went through the same exact thing. Nearly 30, working at Target while living at my parents house was not a good feeling. I do; however, find it hard to feel bad or have sympathy for these folks that at that time wouldn’t even look my direction for a worthwhile position. I guess the point is – hey, I went back to school, left my home to keep working and did what had to be done to be successful so uhhh…what’s your problem? I’m sure glad I learned these lessons in 2001 and find it quite funny now that the shoe is on the other foot. I’m buying my first home in March and have plenty saved for retirement…please don’t ask me for a freakin handout in ten years, because you ain’t gonna get it.

Agreed with you there.
I got tired of crappy jobs because of reverse discrimination, even though I did well in school. So, I said “Phuck it all,” and started my own business. At times it’s tough, but I’ll never go back to the corporate “plantation” ever again.
