You thought rich was a good thing?

--Ali-- I've recently taken a job as an appliance technician. The job is simple. Fix what is broken, right what is wrong, and in some cases, convince people that coffe served at 150 degrees F. is hot enough. I did about 7 calls a day with my teacher. And of the so far 21 calls I've been to, 14 of them were to clients worth over $500,000. Nine car garages, silverware made of actual silver, Aunt Jemima maids, walls covered in artwork, and appliances worth more than my car were the norm. And, the most consistent factor of all of these people is a friendly nievety. Like they floated on a cloud above regular mortal men. Most of these people aquired weath not through hard work (which decreases the trade deficit and brings actual money to the country), but through the buying and selling of things already made. Most of these people had no clue about the things god honest working men and women know: Ohms, torque, amps, volts, psi, order/serial numbers, lead time, working time (for composites), time sheets. When this country shifted to a bunch of desk jockeys banking on demand of assets (like stock market traders) we lost the strength to create new assets and products. Ford has gone to shit selling ideals of grandure rather than making cars and trucks that fit our actual needs. Do ya get it yet? The GNP will keep going down as long as Americans don't build cars for export, make toys for export, make shirts, make anything at all! Selling value, and creating value are two very different things. Lets get back to work America.
