Bl03bue collar failure.......

So who's fault is this big melt down of our society? Is it the guys on Wall street making bucks for their investors, their groups, their banks, their portfolio's. I do not think so. This failure is deeper than that. Those guys we expect to be like wolves, preying on the sick the weak, thats how the market has survived, thats how the strong companies have succeeded. What this present state is .....is a failure of the blue collar worker. Hear me out. We have become complascent with our 401k's and 403b's, and our health care and pension plans. We have got use to the security of our union's and our work groups. We failed to remember that what made us great as a country, as a workforce was the continued diligience to make ourselves more valuable than what they were paying us. to make our products better, for our creations to be of such reliabilty, of such craftmanship that no one in the world could reproduce what we did. To make ourselves irreplaceable, and our products the same. We guaranteed the success of the company and the company success gave us security. We let down ourselves by believing that we could continue to demand the best but not put out the best. We are no longer indispencible, we can be replaced, and the products we made can be replicated cheaper. We have not held our legislators, our leaders, our senators, our congressman as we once did to the loyalty of the blue collar worker we have lost our influence and our strength in this country. In protecting ourselves as individuals we have failed to protect our livilihood, our brothers and sisters, and our country. we have lost our innovation, our entrepeunership. When we regain all these things we again will be strong as a country.
