Slaves Retired When They Dropped Dead. Welcome To The New Amerika. [View all]

With the end of the 40 hour work week and retirement as workers once knew it workers are not there. It does not matter that the economy is improving. But it is not improving for most workers. The new meme is that most workers will work part time even well into their senior years until they can no longer work or are not allowed to.

The new economy is about endless slavery actually. The rights of workers are just about back to 1900 when there were no work laws. If that is not true just look around at the reality of work today. The employer has workers firmly by their private parts now. And it did not have to work that way. Voters over time gave the business community supreme power. As the power of unions erode further and American workers reject unions their fate will be even worse.
