More proof that people need a formal education to become more enlightened. The same working people who voted for Trump have no clue about the worker protections that the Republicans are striving to tear down to enlarge their corporate wealth at the little guys expense.
My law and business studies are what woke me up to the depth of their meddling so no matter what they might say in public or who they get to speak on their behalf, like the majority of church leaders, I will continue to look at the facts surrounding a given situation before I pass judgement on it.
Laissez-faire is their modus operandi as they see the little people as commodities to be consumed in every sector.
Many people that bought into that "formal education" are being crushed by student debts while doing jobs that barely keep their head above water, what good is your formal education that the "corporate run" universities and colleges gave you easy loans for (that can't easily be discharged through procedures like bankruptcy like most other debt) on the hope and promise of a none existent high paying job awaiting you?
Worker protections require strong enforceable laws as well as unions that protect workers from bad management
while protecting the company from bad workers and are in solidarity with each other,
an example of such solidarity would be civil service unions taking interest in the plight of private employees and their unions whose jobs were threatened by outsourcing, because they are the ones who pay the taxes that support the public sector, if American workers both public and private worked together when the disastrous free trade agreements were being rammed through by both democrats and republicans we wouldn't be in the economic situation we are in today.
But the biggest problem I see is Americans (rich and poor alike) in general, usually through corporate sponsored psychological conditioning believe they are entitled to the best pay & working conditions, healthcare, infrastructure, education, lifestyle, etc. but won't or can't pay for most of the goods and services produced under those conditions and therefore seek the cheapest price, lowest bidder, outsourced product made under pay and working conditions they would personally find abhorrent if not down right illegal, but then turn around and rationalize it to themselves as a necessary evil so they won't have to compromise on their spending habits and lifestyle which is eroding the very economic foundation they believe they are entitled to,
and god forbid if some deplorable is earning as much or more in a blue collar profession as some college educated white collar self entitled elitist, instead of asking why they are making less they want to know why deplorable is making so much more and what can be done about it so they earn less for a job considered dirty and menial.
