Working Poor In Rural USA

[Dogtired]

28. Absolutely!!

I also live in a relatively small town and have done construction my whole life in North Carolina. I don't know if we are a right to work state, but the radical republicans have taken over and it wasn't a whole lot better under the other corporate party. Your working evironment sounds similar to my working class experience. I quit my last job over such abuse in 2008 or 2009 and have returned to school and almost completed my degree but prospects for employment are not good. You make me feel good writing this, as i and many americans feel the same way. If all the majority in my neck of the woods weren't brainwashed into voting against their own interests or willing to just get into the streets it might change. Until then sadly it will not. I hear you brother. You are certainly "accurate and elequent" as the other respondent said and defenitely not alone.
