Ruling Class has no respect for labor

Subject: Ruling Class has no respect for labor


The Good Book tells us, "By their deeds you shall know them".
But somewhere along the way we've been schmoozed into thinking that words
are the same thing. Just promise, "Yes we can!" and it's as good as if it
has been done.
Maybe some of us just like being flattered and drooled on. We get our
little pat on the head and sent on our way to do the bidding of "The Man".
But if we could get into the private clubs and behind the closed door
meetings, we'd hear the contempt and the sneers laid upon us.
The Ruling Class, the Corporate Empire, does not think in terms of "Dignity
in all labor".
That is because they view us as a natural resource, which they have a right
to use to their advantage.
And so, it is the Ruling Class who determine the value of each job.
Naturally those who serve them best will receive highest ratings.
We have been conned into thinking that because the Ruling Class tells us
that this person or that one are very important, then it must be so. Of
course many of us work hard to try to join those numbers in order to be
respected and live the good life.
But it's all smoke and mirrors.
A friend said, "But how do you explain the millions that are heaped upon
professional athletes? They don't seem to be important to the well being of
the Ruling Class."
I told my friend that the athletes are workers, just the same as we all are,
and that they deserve respect for what they do to entertain and amaze us.
But the Ruling Class is using them to their advantage. Besides marketing
sports, in order to reap huge profits, they are using these sports "heroes"
to distract us and to help keep us in line.
Sports provides a great service to the Ruling Class. Far more important
than merely taking out the trash.
We've been tricked into believing that some of us have very specials skills
or talents and that makes them worth more than the labor provided by the
trash man. But if we placed equal value on all labor, the fellow flying
down the field with the football tucked under his arm would be no more
valuable than the guy slinging ice-cream bars up into the crowd.
Maybe I'm over the top, at least a little, but my point is that we are not
in control of determining our own labor's value. We need to take that job
away from the Ruling Class and determine what we think our labor is worth.
