As a struggling musician this hits close to home. I've worked over a dozen jobs in four states since leaving home at 18. I went into debt for college but dropped out as my older friends reported back from the "real world" that the promises of higher education were mostly empty. I camped out at Occupy Portland to try to wrap my head around this propaganda-fueled global enterprise. Thank you, David, for tirelessly speaking the truth.
RyanZAG, I suspect it's more a matter of it being convenient for those with entrenched wealth and power to let the masses struggle for the scraps they have left over. This situation leads most of us to compete for the bullshit jobs, to get angry at those who were fortunate enough to get real jobs (even if they are poorly compensated relative to their social value, e.g. teachers), and to generally be so distracted by the charade as to not notice the massive fraud taking place behind doors forever closed to their unwashed, foolish selves.
