Personal responsibility
Jan. 20th, 2011 11:35 amWe have become a generation that has excelled in finding excellent scapegoats for every problem. We have become a generation that wants everything at no cost. And we get upset if corporations take advantage of this. We all want higher wages and cheap clothes/food/products. So, what do companies do? Find places where it's cheaper to make stuff. And what happens? Jobs go elsewhere. So, if you want jobs to stay in the country and want higher wages, then pay for it. Corporations are not going to change their motto of making profits. If they don't your 401K will tank and once again you will be upset. It's funny how many oppose the health care reform because it's "socialist" but when it comes to jobs, they want the government to somehow protect it and keep it in the country. Isn't that "socialist"?
We often forget the power that we hold as consumers. Companies go to great lengths to make us forget that. They work so hard to market to us that we need all the stuff they sell. We forget that we are the ones to tell them what we want and like. Take up some personal responsibility before pointing fingers. Or accept it and move on. Blaming government for becoming too big and then in turn expecting them to protect you is just a double standard or as the political analysts say - wishy-washy.
That's my 100 words for today.
