The New American Slavery - And the Modern Day Work Ethic

Denise
www.rense.com is a site worth visiting for those who haven't felt what is going on yet. It is all around us keeping us away from our families, and then tearing families fall apart. Whenever we are ill and are afraid not to go to work , or when a disabled spouse becomes as a means for divorce this says it all. Moreover, when you don't know where you children are, and they don't talk to you due to the fact that you are always busy is another sign. What about the people on your job including your supervisor who keeps telling everyone that they hate their job? Every morning people endure the commute from home to their job career through all seasons. It is the only way they know to make a living and survive this expensive world.

Vacation usually happens after working two years or more at the job. Then, there are people who take two weeks off at a time twice during a year. Those who get paid for sick days, vacation and personal days are luckier than most. In order to get the true meaning of slavery , one must look at their lives and why money is so important. Unlike slavery of the past, we all can get paid from cash under the table to minimum wage on up for the work we do. However, some people in high positions may not have to work as hard as the other positions below. However, they may get a salary almost as high as one hundred grand. On the other hand,those who do the actual foot work and all the tasks for the people in high positions may not be considered a worthy candidate for a raise.

This is unfair since we all basically have the same dreams across all income levels. For example, to get a nice home, a car, new clothing, go on vacation, new electronics, new furniture and decor. The fact is that it takes money to get the movers, down payment on the house, make mortgage payments, home insurance, escrow taxes, national grid, water bill, car payments, car insurance, gas, food, clothing, repairs, prescription co-pays and other possible money takers. Working paycheck to paycheck may earn you enough to pay for your lifestyle, but those who like to spend for miscellaneous happy items find that one must keep working in order to keep all that you have. Each paycheck sustains your life, and without it you can sink into the depths of poverty. Poverty can earn you items that should be thrown away, and a lifestyle most would consider a nightmare. The scary part of life is that there are homeless people now who once earned a good living, but life happened to them. This makes it worse when you give most of your time to a business with very little vacation, and then it is all over. It was sure kinder in the past when going to school in the recent years.

One thing that I loved about school and college was the vacations: winter, spring and some holidays. Nowadays, the parents have to work even when the children are home for vacation leaving little time for family time together. Some people can manage this, and others cannot. All businesses we depend on for our necessities have their reasons for charging a lot of money for certain items.Not to mention the cost of repair due to their supposed costs for the parts. The supplier of the parts may claim that the business who supplies it charges more money. Thus goes a never-ending problem in a country where the American dream has to be gotten many times by luck in the family or by scheming and scamming people into believing in your product.

The ever rising costs of the economy always seems to move ahead before the paycheck does which makes us modern slaves have to work harder. The weekends gives very little rest. Before you know it you are back to work again in the adult life. I have a very nonsensical question regarding the numerous debt, poverty that plagues out nations, jobs given to non American citizens, and the fact that each country can make their own money. America makes our money from tough rags that is made into our American dollars. So, Why can't we all earn what we have worked so hard for when there is money that can be made, and access tax money no one asked for horded without reason? No one on earth should ever be denied their basic needs of quality housing, transportation, clothing, good food and miscellaneous fun.

There is one reason. Slaves had no rights back then, so we do not have much rights today. Meaning, if we don't life will be difficult, and if we do life will not be free. The moral of this story is we are slaves to the dollar that in return doesn't offer us very much back. Therefore, many people are looking for work at home opportunities online for extra cash. Online has a numerous abundance of fraudulent businesses who will legally take your money for nothing, and not have to give you a refund. Instead of working for two bosses in the day and night shift job it would be easier to find an honest business online to pay you for work at home. Look for other opportunities such as www.associatedcontent.com , and www.metacafe.com for sites that pay you to make videos. Perhaps, you can make money on your hobbies to make your lives a lot easier. Since time passes us by the time we have left is too precious to waste on doing a job that makes us unhappy. If a work slave is to us an inevitable fate, we should at least make no less than $100 grand or more a year.
