Agreed... I have charted my income since I was able to work and from 2003 till the present, it has been terrible. A lot of people I talk too are arrogant like I once was as their attitude is it will never happen to me.
I too am seeing a lowering of our average income while other countries are rising. I think at a point somewhere in the future that the average wage worldwide will be the same (100 or 200 years), but this will mean that our economic base will be devastated. How companies/people cannot see that if we send all of our money overseas and it doesn't come back here and we let people who have no intention of becoming americans to buy our property, then we are rapidly losing the things that make us the greatest country in the world. Some very shortsighted people are making decisions and it really worries me as they no longer take care of the employees that helped to make them who they are and in fact, they could care less. I personally feel that the shift between the industrial age and the coming age will be much more dramatic then the shift between the ??? Age and the industrial age and devastating to our way of life. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Pete Theisen Sent: Sunday, July 20, 2008 8:47 PM To: ProFox Email List Subject: Re: [OT] Fat Slobs struggle to put food on the table.

There is something going on here that we are all forgetting, the so-called "world economy" - step-by-step busting us all down to third-world wages. The article about the woman mentioned the job losses in the area she lives in, and other posters mentioned the Ehrenreich book so we have been at least exposed to part of the problem. But the rich people establishment wants us to think that nothing is really wrong while they gradually complete their project, and by and large, we think as they wish. Nowadays the man in the old saying would have to pay a couple hundred for a fishing license and hope the fish were there when he finally got it. -- Regards, Pete http://pete-theisen.com/ [excessive quoting removed by server] _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
