Raise the Hammer

After this farce by canada post and the harper cons. I truly feel sorry for all the young workers in canada who are just starting out. I feel especially bad for the ones who can`t afford a higher education. I am only a few years from retirement. When I joined the workforce there were many decent paying jobs around mainly because of unions. People had money to spend on all kinds of things cars, houses, entertainment etc. everyone was a winner including small businesses. Crime rates were low, because when you have money to spend, you spend it. When you don`t have it, you either don`t buy alot, or you may have to steal if you really want things, things that others seem to have. So by lowering wages for middle class workers has a bad effect on the whole economy, why can`t EVERYONE see this. CEO`s and upper management types are out of touch with reality. Lowering the standard of living for the middle class creates the circle of poverty. The children of the rich will be able to get a higher education and the others will not and so on. Eventually there will be such a great division between the have`s and the have not`s that it will throw this country into almost 3rd world status, and that`s when alot of trouble will happen. It seems to have already begun. Big corporations don`t make multi-million dollar profits, and the CEO`s don`t get outrageous bonuses by paying workers good and decent wages and benefits. Their main concern is MONEY, MONEY for their own pockets. Someday, hopefully all the workers of this country will rise united to fight for decent wages and respect which ALL Canadians deserve. Governments like this one love to pit worker against worker. They are the neighborhood bullies, and like all bullies, they are really when put to the test, are COWARDS at heart.
