Funny thing is how some of the 53%-ers are proud of the fact that they have to work long hours without health insurance just for the “right” to be able to tell those hippies to suck it up.

Whatever happened to the notion of hard work actually paying enough to allow us to work a 40-hour week, or is that something reserved for the elite?

I once ran across a statistic (some years ago) that only 38% of the American workforce has a “normal” job: namely day whift, weekdays without regualr overtime.

Granted, not everybody can have the “luxury” of working 9 to 5 mon-fri, but it says a lot that nearly 2/3 of America’s employees are regularly working evenings and weekends.
