You don't want to hand any power to the government or private business.
Private business and corporate america isn't near as benign as you want to think.
These businesses have a lot of power in our politics and they have shitloads of power in our personal lives as well.
Learn your history of the labor movements. These private employers had us as slaves not that long ago, you don't give them an inch or they'll have little kids working 12hr 7 days a week again.
Employers are the scum of the earth, can't trust them at all. They are the police state, the half way house put in place to keep track of us all through record keeping, they are the spies for our government. That HR department has a shit load on you, it is there job to spy on you and put together a file that follows you.
Working for yourself, under the table, no document, no anything, just cash. That's how man was meant to live, that keeps the power in his own hands and outside of those looking to exploit the mentally weak.
The bottom line in this situation is everything becomes corrupt when the motivation is money. Of course for those that don't seem to have much of a value system that gears them towards integrity and a sense of right and wrong, they'll take the philistine shallow utility view and see it as nothing that should be questioned at all, they'll just pull their pants up after their employer gets done using their ass for a creampie and they'll thank their employer kindly that at least my employer likes the warmth of my rectum and I should be thankful for that.
Those with higher standards are naturally going to be in conflict with all of these institutions whether they be government or business. At some point the aloof detached attitude is what is needed to keep going so as to not be a martyr to ideas, which is basically the American way. We love dumb people that are really good at going through the motions, our nation is built on those principles of idiots, as there are always lots and lots of people that are willing to take a dick up the ass if you wont.
When has a employer abused you or cramed in your ass? Explain what they did to you and why you continued to work with them, specific example.
I have never been abused by an employer. I work my hours, they pay me, it's that simple. If I do a good job, I get promoted, they pay me more money. if im not happy, I go somewhere else.
Say I open a company making plates for gyms and offer 15 an hour, no one bites. I can't run my business. So I raise to 20, then 20 guys come work for me. If I abuse them they will leave, I can't force them to stay.
Say they become a union and demand 30 an hour, I now have to raise prices. But now im not making money and customers are pissed so I and customers suffer. What do I do? I move my business over seas and people will work for $5 an hour, I lower prices and sell more. Win for me and win for my customers.
As a business owner I am not your daddy, it is not my duty to make you happy, to make you rich. I have incentive to keep you happy or you leave now I have to replace you. Or maybe I want you to leave because you are drama or don't work hard so I just fire you. thats your incentive to not show up drunk or be rude to customers, because I can fire you.
The good employees benefit, the business does, the customers do.
Do you live in America. Do you not see lazy people all around you? People that think they are special and worth a wage they can't earn in a free market? I do.
People in America don't have to work, there are welfare queens in every inner city collecting a check, that is a problem, not corporations.
Work under the table? Sure you can if you like. I prefer to know im going to get x amount every other Friday, and have health insurance, rather than going around looking for work to do. I work my 7 hours each day then the rest of the time is my leisure time and I collect my money and spend it how I wish. I never have to look for work, side jobs, worry if I can pay my rent or buy my food or cycle, life is very easy, no struggle at alll. My most difficult struggle was deciding what to do for triceps today, as Americans we are living the good life.
Now these scumbag democrats an inflation and food and gas, that Is a separate issue. That is not an issue created by the fact that the 40 hour work week is accepted and many are happy with it. Before we had Joe and the whore, gas and food were very cheap.
