Has it occured to anyone that most large corporations are now becoming the Robber Barons of old? It was disregard for the workers and pay rates that were not capable of sustaining a realistic way of life that brought the unions to power.
I am not advocating unions because I have been a union member and, at least in the case of the place I was working at the time, the union did nothing but take dues. That being said I can see a revolt of workers coming. The problem with this is that the corporations will just thumb their noses at us and offshore the work.
I am not making a rant against outsourcing because there is absolutely a legitimate use for it.
What I see coming is that the CEOs of the large corporations are making this country backslide into a developing nation again. We were at one time the greatest nation on earth and everyone wanted to live here so they could have the American Dream.
The American Dream now is the ability to be able to put food on the table and a roof over your families head. Not too many people are looking at the old dream of a house with a yard and several children because no one can afford it anymore.
Does anyone at all besides me see a problem when the CEO of a company makes over 1000 times what the front line workers that do all the work are paid?
I certainly see an issue there and hopefully enough people to make a difference also see a problem.
I am truly not pushing socialism but there needs to be a point where people start to stand up and say "Wait a minute. That is just not right!'
