We absolutely DEMAND that the underpaid: barista puts just the right amount of foam on the latte, restaurant dishwasher delivers all utensils in aligned, pristine condition, motel room maid leaves the room fresh smelling and spotless, farm worker delivers our vegetables fresh, clean, crisp, and free from wildlife, house cleaner gets all the hard to reach areas, teacher fully prepares little (place your hyphenated name here) Jr. for college while insuring universal student safety, happiness, and self actualization, nanny fulfills the role as a flawless surrogate parent, latest wave of immigrants hide in the shadows while they do most of the work listed above. Meanwhile, we just sit there and DO NOTHING while we: pay $100/mo for 900 channels of infomercials, get no interest in our bank accounts, pay $3 a pop just to get our own cash from that lousy account, pay $50, to bring our clothes along on vacation, to an industry that made $11 billion in profit last year, pay $40 billion to subsidize the richest companies on the planet while poor kids have to go hungry, pay a big chunk of our incomes in taxes, while most of the Fortune 400 companies pay nothing, allow corporations to hoard over $2 trillion in off-shore, tax free accounts, pay Congress to do less than nothing for the average American people, pay to bail out Wall Street for losing at the track (and lying to Congress about it) with our money, allow big oil, gas, and coal to pollute the air, water, and cause earth quakes in our neighborhoods. allow the military industrial complex to rake in over $ 1 trillion for a new fancy jet fighter fleet while we have to pay an extra gas tax, to fix some of our roads and bridges, do way more work for less pay and no benefits while while the bosss income and corporate profits skyrocket. What is wrong with this picture?
