49. The middle class is under siege like never before, and the future appears dismal.
People are no longer being taken care of—pensions are gone; 401(k)s have been
sliced in half; and it’s hard to see where to go from here. You might be the
hardworking secretary, the one with institutional knowledge, the person who has
given so much and deserves security and respect. And while you might deserve
these things, your tenure is no guarantee that you’re going to get them.
Suddenly, quite suddenly in the scheme of things, it seems
like the obedient worker bought into a sucker’s deal. The
educated, hardworking masses are still doing what they’re
told, but they’re no longer getting what they deserve. This
situation presents a wonderful opportunity.
