[QUOTE="rickyb, post: 2660380, member: 56035"] the way the capitalist economy is going, everyone will be moving back in their parents basements: "In retrospect, this is less than surprising in a time when the top tenth of the upper U.S. One Percent owns as much as much wealth as the bottom U.S. 90 percent while half the nation’s population is either poor or near-poor (living at less than half the federal government’s notoriously inadequate poverty level). [B]A shocking 94 percent of the jobs created in the U.S. economy during the Obama years were part-time, contract, and/or temporary positions." [/B] i remember when that stat first came out it was a big deal. i dont see how the fourty hour work week can live. maybe it will be like democracy where they say we have it, but the reality is quite different. the next things the capitalists will take away is our parents basements, and we will be living on the corporate plantation like the workers in china.
