I saw the phrase "me generation" and I thought about how the boomers are going to destroy this country because of their unwillingness to change this welfare we call SS, which I submit is unconstitutional. Or perhaps you meant that people expect the taxpayer to provide all of life's benefits, like healthcare. How today's me me me society believes that it's anyone's responsibility to give them healthcare but their own. Either the company or the government. I mean we keep hearing about how Walmart is thrusting people onto state health care system when in fact it is the individual who chooses to have their expense picked up by the state. However, if I diverged, I apologized. I read on and saw that you were lamenting the errosion of corporate America as a result of the unions. Yes, I agree. We see some pretty sinificant destruction to great American companies at the hands of the unions. Programs like Job Banks, health benefits for life, and outrageous wages for what amounts to unskilled workers. How the responsibility for the company resides in it's obligation to develop value for the stock holders and not healthcare managment? How the taxpayer is once again on the hook for these pensions should the company go defunct. I happen to agree that the culture of greed has helped foster this sense of entitlement from a society which believes they are OWED by the companies, when in fact it is they who owe. Or perhaps you were referring to the 1000s of people who are supporting socialists like Obama who promises (really) to pick up people's credit card debt if you get over your head, cover your mortgage, and provide free pre school. He's also going to pile in more money to New Orleans, because we know that nearly $300 BILLION, with a "B", spent that the solution is simply more money. I don't think that entire shithole was ever worth $300BILLION. (with a "B") So allow me to apologize in advance is I may have skirted the issue about who the greedy and selfish are or the role of corporations. I'm new here. |
