Maybe if they get democracy they'll start voting for fewer hours of work and more pay! Yeah, that's the ticket. And an early pension. Cool. Free medical treatment. Yayyy!! You make it sound wrong to want to work reasonable hours, have affordable health, and have a livable pension when you retire. I see things a little different. In the UK there is loads of B/S from politicians that the working population should now work to 70 yrs old before they get a pension. Longer age spans and all that. It is complete B/S as there are few to no jobs available to folks over 40 years in many cases. Well, they can work for minimum wage for Home Depot, but that's it practically. This is true for many countries including Europe and the USA. I am of the opinion that people other then the Chinese and the Japanese can actually make stuff, and can do a good job. In a natural world, they would be more competitive as they would not have to transport finished goods half way around the planet to sell them. Fiat currency exchange rates are nothing to do with a "free world". Secret societies more like. The guys in those societies are all up for big pensions, early retirement, and do practically bugger all else. Yeah, in a real democratic society all folks appear the same. Strange isn't it? -g-
