"Absolutely Rosie, Johnny needs to know his place and put his head down and be thankful the CEO will give him a job."--Hellabor

yeah he can begin by thanking his lucky stars that some rich people decided to risk their capital and bring him in and pay him for his labor. After all when he accepted the job, he accepted the pay and benefits. The problem is he demands higher and higher pay, more and more time off, more and more benefits, to the point that he and his ilk dry up the investment.

If Johnny Rivets wants to improve his lot in life and no one would besmirch him of that goal, he can do it like anyone else, by risking his own capital on his own venture.

You don't enrich yourself by holding your labors hostage. The American worker wants to bemoan the movement of jobs south or north or across the seas, he has only himself to blame for not staying competitive.
