Being a baby boomer myself the world I grew up in was far different from the world today. It was a much better place for the working men or women than todays world is. What changed was in a word GREED. Today greed is the driving force behind everything and the end result has been the steady worsening of the job market. There was a time when big business was happy with making 10%-40%( during WW2 big business had government contract that where cost plus 2%to about 7% profit) not today . Today their rich investors demand an ever increasing profit and business like Walmart demand ever lower prices from there suppliers. The end result has been the destruction of good paying job and the current drive to end the safety net.There is nothing like the sheer stupidity of the rich the Koch's boys are a prime example of this. The day will come when we can no longer afford to buy the goods that they produces when that happens all hell will break lose. Hopefully we as a people will wake up before that happens and demand the changes necessity in both our government and big business to prevent it. The best first step is to end big money ability to buy government. How to do it's simple but yet very hard to do . Put in place a law with a strict limit of $10.00 campaign donation per person per politician then the politicians have to work for all the people if they want money instead of for just a few. A law like this would put every one on the same playing field the rich will scream but to hell with them in the long run it's for there own good to even if they are to stupid to see it. Just think what happened to the rich during the French Revolution this is far less painful to them.
