Eighty percent of Americans agree that the government is for big business not the middle class which is dying. If you don't have a college degree you are tough out of luck.
Last night I learned of a friends fifty year old smoking brother-in-law who joined his wife in the non-employed portion of Americans. But, this guy (what was he thinking, in today's job market) quit, only because his employers said he could not smoke on company property. Now, he can't even afford cigarettes. His wife already quit to care for the grand-daughter because her mother could not afford day care? Does that make sense. Maybe grandmother should have kept HER job and just paid for the daycare?
The guy had twenty years of service and was making between $25. - $30. dollars an hour! How foolish! Guess what they are doing now...cashing in the 401K. And if he was not eligible for full pension..he won't get it! That is if the company even offered a pension. Besides that, I'm sure word got around and even if he wanted a job in the same type of company..he is probably banned.
Just how stupid are these people? Did this man think he could quit just because his wife did? What was he thinking. These are the people who run up their charge cards and are merely a month away from being homeless; because they live month to month.
If this guy uses up his 401K (plus about 30% penalties [20% penalty and 10% early withdrawal fees]) they will find that they will be probably be working minimum wage jobs (if she can find them) for the REST OF THEIR LIVES. Because they probably won't find as good as jobs as he had so they will probably be working just as many, or many more hours a day and week and making a quarter or a third less money. Probably, now realizing his stupidity, he is filled with dread and will probably get sick next. I'm sure within 30 days they will no longer have health insurance either.
Do you know that most middle class people do not have health insurance and are one illness or a pregnancy away from bankruptcy? Ignorance is not bliss, in today's economical society. Do your homework...get insurance. Get a job that provides group insurance, you will save money. Most individual insurance premiums cost about $500. per month. Yes! And isn't it sad; that the government stamped out the Clinton's universal health care plan. Gee, we haven't heard mention of none of that have we. The Clinton's got the national debt down to zero and Hillary wanted to sign a bill that would provide national health insurance. But, the republican house keep every one in America distracted with trying to impeach Clinton by setting him up; by providing a "loose" woman to work in his presence. Yes, he was stupid, but what man isn't around a young thing and the republicans counted on that.
Do we want to be as poor as the people in India? Women in India are becoming surrogate mothers to American parents to provide money for their families and it's okay with the husbands. I feel so sorry for these women. How can a woman carry a baby and then give it up. I feel so sorry for them. Anyway, think about who you vote for this November! Washington are allowing businesses to ship their good well paying jobs overseas and only leaving the low paying jobs here. I believe in this country we have more low paying service jobs than anything; people barely making minimum wage (around five bucks). Congress voted against rising minimum wage because businesses say it will hurt them financially and they will have to lay people off. That's a poor excuse in my reasoning.
I just can't imagine the stupid government of ours setting up a poor excuse for us to go to war with Iraq for oil.. To stop terrorist? Oh come on! I wouldn't put anything past the people in Washington (the corporation lobbyist who are really running the show). Just who was really behind 9 11? Look at Vietnam how senseless that was and for about ten years the government and big corporations influencing government got wealthy. Everyone knows war is great for the economy. But, you really can't tell that, since we are about 7 trillion dollars in debt and are indebted to Mexico (how suspicious is that?), China, Japan, and India (how suspicious is that?). Funny the good paying jobs are outsourced to India and we are getting daily illegal cheat labor from Mexico that businesses don't have to pay benefits are taxes on. And can pay less than minimum wages. Oh what a sad situation these old white haired men (filled with greed) have us in. Just how much money do politicans and CEO's need. Actually, I think it is not about the money, it's about "making more than another" and being king of the hill.
What if suddenly all these men turned into women are their estrogen level rose as high as a woman's? Would the world be better off? It's a good premise for a book I think. It is nature for men to want to conquer, manipulate, preach and teach and won and fight and be king of the king. Women are more loving and want to get along and will do anything for their children. These men who are leaders of countries and leaders of war care nothing about women and children - in fact rape and kill them for no good reason except to conquer. They are animals! Just what kind of blood runs in their veins? All over the world, men are fighting one another and killing innocient people! And most of them doing so in the name of god and justice! What ever happen to really being godlike and charible and loving one another. Oh, they only preach that principle and wouldn't think of living by their words. People! We need more women in leadership rolls who will not be influenced by men; but, think for themselves.
