Economics 101, very simple.
For each manufacturing job in this Country, as many as 10 other jobs may be created. Think about it; suppliers, truckers, construction workers, white collar jobs, cleaners, trash removal, people that fill vending machines, UPS drivers. I can go on and on.
There is plenty of room for "the successful rich man" and middle management, just not at the expense of so many others. Just my 2 cents....
I agree I wish we still had the manufacturing jobs that we did too, but this country's manufacturing economy moved overseas many years ago and its not coming back. Pointing fingers and huffing and puffing at the rich CEO and middle management isn't going to change anything. My only issue is that in this modern society we so often look at successful people in disdain. Its a modern day sin to be wealthy. And the only reason for that is jealousy. We think we should all have it that well too, but the simple fact is we haven't earned it. We're either not intelligent enough, or don't have the fortitude it takes to become that successful, so we sit around and 3itch at those who are. And when you do that you're making zero progress my friend.
