Comments on: More than a paycheck http://teamronmiller.com/reflections/?p=186 My personal ruminations on politics, society and faith, particularly as they pertain to the Free State of Maryland Sat, 04 Sep 2010 12:42:27 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=7179 hourly 1 By: TimHolm http://teamronmiller.com/reflections/?p=186&cpage=1#comment-713 TimHolm Tue, 09 Mar 2010 01:06:27 +0000 http://teamronmiller.com/reflections/?p=186#comment-713 A few points here. One, so glad to hear that your major at college was in polysci, MA in international relations. Now _that_ is more like it for politican material. I am all for diversity, but simply put geeks in public office is unheard of. ____________________________________________________________ Two, so right you are about jobs/occupation is the great tonic of any age. We, even those on welfare, live much better than kings in days of old with the material sense. However, we are emotional creatures, only subsidiary to material when Maslow's 'hierarchy of needs' is insufficient, a great rarity in reality of today's America. Once those lower needs are met, the second highest rung (self esteem and esteem of others) plays in. __________________________________________________________ Having a job, any job, is at a core of our being, hence retirees often passing away within months of leaving a career. Here is where Democrats of present are torturing with cruel and inhumane treatment. Smothering the public in a tarred/feathered blanket, so to speak. ___________________________________________________________ For example, everyone normal who wants a job should have a one during usual business cycles. But to have a person or business give a job involves legal issues, like getting yourself sued, so jobs are increasingly like, er, computerized telephone numbers having you punch phone entries for an hour, forcing you to spend your time and prove commitment, not the employer/business. Why should a business have a damoclean sword hanging over its head? So in western societies, the red tape and laws force jobs to be sparingly allowed, especially for younger people or those marginal for various reasons, something straight out of Ayn Rand. __________________________________________________________ Here is where Obama is callous and calculating, apparently by design. In the 1930's, charity was a living death for many, any job was preferred. A few points here. One, so glad to hear that your major at college was
