Now I can agree with a lot you have to say, but do I really need to take the hit for everyone on this.
I do think things are a lot deeper than the what you described. But you are correct regarding the 401k, as we willingly give our money to a banker who could potentially be investing in something that will ultimately cost us our jobs, or at the very least, a reduction in pay or benefits. It's the same with shopping at Wal-Mart and others, to buy their cheap cr*p to save a buck, even though in the long run it's forcing someone in this country out of a good paying job.
But unfortunately, most of the workerbee class financially don't have a choice anymore but to invest where the bankers want them to, and buy the disposable products of a Wal-Mart. In disposable I mean you buy a product like a TV every 5 years now instead of 25 years because they are junk, but cheap junk. At the same time they look for leadership from say the AFL-CIO, and their more worried about global alliances and organizing day workers from Mexico. The government, forget it, it's whatever the corporation want these days. So you're screwed from all sides. :down:
