The mutterings of a workers soul continues

February 12th 2011 01:17
Follow us in our journey at all of our Tapsearch Com - Ray Tapajna Chronicles sites

A global economy that not only uses impoverished workers but starves the soul of both workers and consumers.

We explore the lost of human dignity in the workday here with philosophy and religion still not asking why and what is causing it.

This is part 2 following our previous post - The mutterings of a workers soul part 1 Link

Governments acting as brokers and dealers merging with big money and vast transnational corporations, control the flow of wealth from the top down. The working class is still on the bottom. Adam Smith held workers and labor as something sacred and the core of all society but in the globalist free trade money changers world, workers are still outside looking in at the economic orgy of the upper classes. Elite groupings control the situation under a new "ism" of globalism that combines even Communism with Raw Capitalism. Globalism uses free trade as it tool in the process.

I worked in several factories while going to college. I found a deep void between the factory floors and the college classroom. It was obvious back then as it is now that workers are indeed the lower 4th and state and are ruled by a system of rank. (Note our Tapsearch.com communications by rank
Workers still do not have a voice in their destiny as investors are ranked above them. For many years workers have tried to make their case through unions but union leadership controls their destinies too. And unions really have failed their mission in setting a stage for workers to control their own destinies.

Now our economies based on making money on money instead of making things are burning out with governments bailing out the elite globalist free trade money changers while ignoring the suffering of workers. Their souls are starving more than their bodies are in many cases.

Pope Benedict in his economic encylical suggests the use of "subsidiarity."
My understanding of the term means that everything should be decided at the lowest level possible. It is obvious this is not the case when it comes to the working class. I was part of the corporate world most of my life but still could not escape the experience of working in factories and getting the know so many great people at that level. I had experience dealing with the highest echelon of management in the corporate world but in the end, the greatest man I ever met in the work world was a shop foreman.

WIth free trade, the production worker has been isolated from the flow of things in the investment world. Corporations represent an entity that is treated as if they are human with stock holders ranked high above workers in terms of value.

With free trade failing, we should be busy seeking new ways in a post globalization way but this is not happening. Nothing will really work right until we put workers in their proper place in the order of things. We should know by now that nothing is really flowing down from the top to help us all no matter what rank we enjoy in society.

( We will continue with more in our next post in a series titled - The mutterings of a workers soul. We will try to bring out what goes wrong when philsophy and religion fail their roles in our economic day. )
