I'm also aware its not just a social issue, but also a a political one.
A little while back here in the states we had the Occupy Wall Street
movement that mainly consisted of young, college-aged students, older
socialists, and homeless people. Most of these people hated big
business even though many of them were able to get to college due to
their father or mother working at a corporation for 20+ years, they
hated the corporations that put food on their table when they were
growing up. No one is equal and success is earned and not achieved by
taking money from the people that earned it because the little liberal
is bitter that someone else has a better job than them.
Also, many people in that age bracket are still protected by the
warmth of being in college. No real responsibilities, no real money
issues, and no wife and kids to feed. People really don't know jack
about the real world until they have lived it and I doubt a 20 year
old knows the problems of a 40 year old.
I think there is a similarity between Occupy and the free software
movement. I'm guessing many of its supporters are young, single and
are in college or recently out. Sure, making close to nothing income
wise or $20k a year is fine when you are single, but not when you are
married with kids. I don't have any kids, but they are expensive and
most of your money goes to them.
I'm saying all of this because someone fired back about the American
political system and how Republicans are bad. Same blah blah...
Republicans support the businesses and Democrats support the people.
The reality is you can unionize the crap out of everything and forcing
a business to pay a worker a set range can be great if the economy is
great. The problem is that union bosses are really only out for
themselves and are glorified mob.
I understand that most of you are European and are used to more
socialistic ideals. Things are different over here in the states and
there is a reason why many people move from Europe to the US to find
jobs.
Hahaha! Is it true that europeans move to the US to find jobs? I see a
lot of people from the US in Ecuador. Are they here to find a job?
