In the early 1900's when modernization was first starting a few men got extremely rich. And with this power they started building railroads steel mills coal mines. At first people were glad to work at these places steady money and a better life for their families. Then the men with the money realized they had all the power so they could pay what they wanted not what was fair.And to boot they would open a company store and all the worker would have to buy their food and clothes there. So they would get all their money back when they marked up the goods from the store to a unfair price So the worker would be working for nothing. That is basically what happened..Then you have riots and the forming of labor unions to battle the greed of the republican industrialist. These are well documented facts.Now what we have is a different kind of oppression you don't see your exploiter. He is not in the office you work at he is in New York or London or Berlin or Hong Kong. They used to bring Chinese over here to build railroads now they just send the job to China. If they can't get it done cheap over here. But we have minimum wage to keep people from being exploited ((right)) Most people in this country now work by the contract. That way no benefits no insurance no retirement And as long as you work your ass off you can make a living..Don't get sick and don't get old or you are shit out of luck. The other way go to work for a big company and right before you get ready to retire they fire you. You lose all your benefits. This is the new America. The rich republicans are doing what they have always done. Instead of goons with guns and bats. Its just loop holes they put in the laws that allow them to do business this way. Maximum profits for them. No social conscience.
And the company store Walmart yes they are putting all the small retailers out. and before long you will have no chose Then they can charge what ever they won't. Just like the company stores of old.
People are sheep they do what they are told.. They are taught that from the time they are little kids to do what you are told. This is a world wide problem and will have to be addressed before mankind can make any progress. Communism was Europe's answer in the 1900's even tho theoretically it makes sense in does not work in the real world. Because the thing it is suppose to get rid of greed is what destroys it. Greed and power destroyed Communism..We have to get away from money I know that is so hard because everyone thinks they are going to make it. Be rich and powerful and they do not want to do away with that vehicle. They could win the lottery..Or be a famous sports star Or a rock star They use these dreams to keep you working. And playing their game...Make no mistake the pie is just so big and they will take every one's piece..If we let them..... ((One mans Opinion))
