It seems that, according to the Federal Reserve, American families lost 40% of their wealth between 2007 and 2010, dropping them to levels not seen since 1992.
It's hard to feel sorry for most of them--far too many are not informed, far too many have abandoned unions, far too many suffer from class envy instead of realizing that the better middle income jobs pay, the more money that 99% of us make. It appears that this every man for himself mentality worked out about as well as it did on the Titanic.
And it's only going to get worse until a majority of us realize, quite like the young woman in this article, that we need unions now more than ever. I really don't think she's exaggerating when she warns that we as a nation are in danger of becoming a country of worker drones ruled by feudal lords.
Eventually we've going to have to fight to make what's right.
Peace,
