This is Part 2 of our study about - Free Trade Trashing Human Dignity. It challenges philosophy and religion to expose this massive degradation of human dignity in our times. Where are the philosophers and religious leaders on this issue?
We will not tell you what year this is involved until the end of the article - It could be 2008 but it is not.... When will it stop?
This is by Martin Jaffe and Mini Patterson. They were job consultants for the county library in Cuyahoga County in Ohio.
" I feel like I'M working without a safety net." That's the way the world looks for too many of the carreer counseling clients we see at Info-PLACE, the Cuyahogo Public Library's job counseling center. Whether they were blue collar, white collar, pink collar, managerial, professional - whatever job they used to do, they're facing a tubulent future as America de-jobs and contracts.
CEI, Ameritech, Ameritrust, BP, other public and private employers have continued an unprecendented dispossesion aimed at the heart of the typical American suburban Republican voter: middle-aged ( one third over 55 who lost their jobs never found another one ), middle-class, college educated men are as irrelevant to the new American economy as the Dust-Bowl Okies of the 1930s or the blue-collar workers they " downsized" during the 1980s.
Michael Hammer co-author of the current best selling business book "Re-Engineering the Corporationa," said recently:
" I think there are a lot of people who will never find a job again."
" American workers cannot compete with someone making $45 a week," said Mark Shaw, a Cleveland Steel Worker. ( Many retired steel workers are now receiving their pensions from the Federal Insurance Program paid by the taxpayers who will never have a pension.)
At the same time, 70 percent of workers pay more in Payroll Tax than they in Income Tax with the total revenues from the Payroll Tax almost the same as revenues from the general tax. The so called surplus is based on the Payroll Tax. Any tax cut relates only to about 30 percent of all workers. Also, at the same time, only about 38 percent of all workers qualify for unemployment insurance. Most workers do not work enough hours or make enough money in any given period to qualify.
* What year is this data from ? It is from 1998 - that's ten years ago. And the stats above remain the same. President Bill Clinton and Alan Greenspan proclaimed prosperity during this time.

Senator Obama "shadow boxes" the issue of degradation of human dignity in the work day and will most likely continue the major Free Trade policies of the 1990s with a Globalist mind-set
