Let’s question the statements, usually expressed with no uncertain virulence by gainfully employed ultra-conservatives, that: We don’t need government interfering with workers or employers. We don’t need government, or anybody, advocating a redistribution of wealth. That’s socialism, and it don’t work.
We don’t need a redistribution of wealth, in this particular time in our history?
Give me a break – the backbone of the American middle class is being broken. These are the people who have done everything ‘right’ during their lifetimes: multiple degrees, on-the-job training, saving for their retirement and kids’ college education, doing what the American ‘way’ says they should do.
It isn’t working. Government, (meaning, we the people), need to step in and provide a radical solution for this problem.
If it’s true, as many analysts and think tanks seem to suggest, that our economic/social structure is changing to the point where, frankly, there will never again be enough middle to upper class wage jobs to accomodate our population, then the answer to our woes will not reside in the usual ‘let the market do its thing’ diatribe.
Only so many people can become successful entrepeneurs; only so many can reinvent themselves sufficiently, that they will be able to support themselves and their families. Only so many unemployed or underemployed people will get back to where they should be; the remainder will conceive a social strata of underemployed, underutilized, and underappreciated, that will eventually become a part of the chronically lower class.
The radical answer to this growing reality is for government to answer the challenge, and to do it now. Or watch our nation sink to a level that would make our forefathers cringe with shame and despair.
