While I agree I don't like far left ideologies like socialism and communism, acting like the status quo with the economy is AOK is equal bullshit from certain conservative minds.
Rising unemployment, lay offs and all time high foreclosures. You may have the problem of promoting laziness with things like communism (because, being honest, what would truly motivate a doctor if he made as much as a janitor?), but with our current system of capitalism, the greedy as fuck "higher ups" have absolutely NO empathy for people who are lower to middle class. They are not held accountable. Keep raising prices for fucking everything. Push the envelope. Why not? Not hurting their wallets any.
The job market isn't what it used to be. What about people who want to be artists or photographers or authors/journalists? It's not easy to get your "foot in the door" to be poised to make a decent living in these fields. Hence why many have primary jobs and do what they actually want on the side, hoping their REAL interests will pay off with employment opportunities.
Thing is, making it by on a "joe job" as a primary is increasingly NOT as easy as it once was, making some feel pressured to hurry up and choose a "lucrative" field or degree, even if it is something they do not care for at all. Which DRAINS you., if you are not the type of person who can do that. Leaving you as a bitter husk/zombie, just surviving more than living.
A "type A" personality ("workaholic"/conservative/etc psychological terms) might not see the problem with this system. Type B personalities (creative, imaginative, and philosophical) will, more often. If I didn't word that right, sue me. I'm dog tired.
