There is an ever-increasing undercurrent that is coming to the surface in the form of rapids. The undercurrent started with free markets. Sounds good on face value, but it means the cheapest products produced by the cheapest labor, maybe you. Who profits from the free market, the corporations, CEO, and major investment houses.
How to do keep free market going and expanding, sell the idea to American consumers, citizens, and politicians. You too can be rich. Come aboard, smaller government, no regulations on banks, investments, environment, trade, etc, the ideal free market. Less taxes, use fees, need a fire truck, need a policeperson, need to educate your child, your credit card please.
Attack the unions, make them bad, bad for everyone, I do not have a union so you cannot have a union. Unions are bad for business, for free market, for the cheapest product. Now we have few unions and soon no unions. If a union of employees has a work contract, oh, it is too expensive, we cannot pay the cost, we will void the contract. Why should union employees have more than I have, cancel the contracts. Cancel the contracts by changing the laws or bankruptcy, it really does not matter, the end result is the same, cheap labor.
The first undercurrents are coming to surface as rapids. These rapids are the support of the corporation and the excess pay and bonuses of the top few on the cheap labor of the many workers that would like to be rich, dream of being rich, if only I can work a little harder, two jobs, but I can only get by, or oh no I am layer off and no one is hiring today, we have to be efficient.
The last protections for the worker, the retired, the 99%, should be the government by the people. It seems the general population has be sold a bunch of rotting apples at a cheap price. For too long, corporations, financial lobbyist, have been telling the public, the more money that is made for the top 1%, the more will “trickle down” to the rest of us. This will not happen. Greed.
Finally. we are waking up to the direction of our country. The direction that has been cultivated for twenty years and is showing a clear path. Money talks, the more you have, the more you want, and the more influence you will have on American politics. Is this where we want to go? I foresee rapids that will drown us.
