The Economic Populist - Comments for "Most New Jobs at Poverty Level, Do not Require a Degree"

I just finished paying off

I just finished paying off my social work degree and my term paper, earned nearly a decade ago. I would be so much further ahead if I had never gone to college. 4 more years of work, saving for retirement, not accruing student loans that took me 9 years to pay off (making double and triple payments). I wish my parents had pushed me towards a vocational program instead of a university. I've told my teenager that she should either choose a lucrative degree in a high demand field (pharmacy or nursing) or bypass college and head straight for job training.

But why do the Plutocrats want this?

I'll admit all of their actions are heading this way, but the one thing I've been challenged on again and again is the why. I think I understand it's about hierarchical power structures, but hasn't the past 150 years in the United States proven time and time again that the flatter the hierarchy is, the more resilient and flexible the entire enterprise becomes?

Maximum jobs, not maximum profits.

This is how we end up a Dickansian nation

RO, this my good man, will set the pillars of creating a nation that the plutocrats want. A modern day antebellum industrial/plantation system for the whole nation...if not the continent.
