Let Us Consider the Corporate Con


“Middle class Americans, like myself and my fellow seekers, have been raised with the old-time Protestant expectation that hard work will be rewarded with material comfort and security,” wrote Barbara Ehrenreich. “This has never been true of the working class, much of which toils away at wages incommensurate with the effort required. And now, the sociologists agree, it is increasingly untrue of the educated middle class that stocks our corporate bureaucracies. As sociologist Robert Jackall concluded, ‘Success and failure seem to have little to do with one’s accomplishments.’”
Donald Trump — a liar, a cheat and a serial bankrupt — is the ultimate example of failing your way to the top of a thoroughly corrupt system.
If a society is judged by its fruits, America’s at the potato famine stage.
