Doesn't this sound problematic? It's almost a form of political correctness. Joe-6-Pack may demand (and receive) respect, but lives under the consequences of crippling income inequality and corporate welfare.

"Doesn't this sound problematic?"

In some cases, absolutely - which is why we're discussing it.

But like everything, there are costs and benefits involved in everything (yes, everything). The idea that longer vacations or 35 hour work weeks have no trade-offs is a mistaken one.

The related idea: that american workers make the decisions they make just because they are stupid is also a mistaken one.
