Just when I feel as if the view of our world, our nation cannot possibly get any more skewed, I open up the paper and read an report with comments from Democratic Senator Keith Ellison of Minnesota. Mr. Ellison claims that Americans should embrace working less, and that in working less hours we will have more time with our families, the ability to eat dinner at our dining room tables and the ability to cook at home and not worry about grabbing take out in our rush home in the evenings.
I had to sit and ponder, have I slipped through a rabbit hole? A worm hole? Does he believe this nonsense he is spouting? Does the public believe this crap being shoved down our throat? If so your children and my children will look back and ponder at the madness that we are allowing ourselves to be duped by.
Less hours at work will mean very little to the family who sits down to a barren empty dinner table. Retiring when working and living paycheck to paycheck is but a fleeting vision for many American households. Increasing your public welfare programs, the largest which is the Ponzi scheme of Obamacare, and the increasing tax burdens being place on Americans backs leads me to agree with Mr. Ellison on one thing. That yes Americans will have less working hours and more hours to sit and wonder how it all went so wrong, thoughts of what we once had, and what we now need, food for our families, a good paying job that brings self worth and pride, creature comforts, home ownership, you know all the little things that are being stripped from Americans on a daily basis, the lists go on and on. Oh the hours we will have free to dwell on those things.
The criminals and fools who will continue to bleat out this propaganda should be ashamed. The remainder of the elected officials who sit quietly while pretending to faintly bleat out small protests and continue to feed off the conservative voting base, you will also be held responsible. Prepare to join all the happy folk who love not working more hours who love sitting back and thinking of what was. I see your future and it looks UNEMPLOYED.
