What would you do?
In Bangladesh, a garment worker makes 22 cents an hour. The wage in Cambodia is 33 cents an hour; in Pakistan, 37 cents an hour; in Vietnam, 38 cents; in Sri Lanka, 43 cents; Indonesia, 44 cents; India, 55 cents; China, 86 cents; the Philippines, $1.07; and Malaysia, $1.18.
Do any of you want to work for $1.18 an hour with no benefits? But that is your competition.
Wages are being driven down and big global corporations are loving it.
This isn’t capitalism.
This is the global elite pushing us into a cruel system of economic slavery where they control all of the wealth and the rest of us struggle to survive as we work our tails off for them.
Already we are seeing large numbers of Americans becoming absolutely desperate to get even a low paying job.
For example, over one three day period, approximately 10,000 people showed up to apply for 90 jobs making washing machines in Kentucky for $27,000 a year.
Can your family live on $27,000 a year?
But that is considered a good wage now.
Can’t Beat them; then join them
Actually, the folks who are making really good wages now are those who work for the U.S. government.
Yes, life is good if you are a servant of the system.
Today, the average federal worker now earns about twice as much as the average worker in the private sector.Of course government employees basically produce next to nothing except red tape.
The U.S. government doesn’t seem to care if they are productive or not. They just keep borrowing more money and getting us into even more financial trouble.
But at least there is somewhere for middle class families to get decent jobs.
In fact, it is getting really hard to live a middle class lifestyle in America without relying on the government in some way.
The truth is that good jobs are becoming increasingly scarce.That is why it is absolutely imperative for all of us to try to become as independent as possible.
That means getting out of debt.
That means starting our own businesses.
That means learning how to grow a garden.
