Are We Finally Starting To See That Our Lives Are Being Manipulated?

Everyday when we are awakened by our "trusty" alarm clocks to begin a new work day, we get up out of our beds and resume our routines.

As children, we watched our parents follow their own routines, but the difference between then and now was that there was no need for both parents to go to work to support their families because the living wage was gauged high enough.

The living wage has been lowered over time instead of steadily rising like it should have because businesses had the option to hire someone at a lower wage who didn't care if they weren't getting paid for what the job was actually worth.

I see this type of thing as a punishment to the family structure. The children are forced to be raised by strangers instead of by their own parents, in other words, parents are spending less and less time raising their own children.

I myself would love to go back to the time before the value of money became so distorted that we would end up jeopardizing our own children's lives by not being able to be there for them as much as they obviously need us to be when they are growing up.

My question is, 'Why are we not doing anything about this by asking for a higher minimum wage?' I am becoming more and more worried about this because we are now starting to see a rise in grocery prices because the privately owned Federal Reserve bank printed too much money, and therefore caused inflation to happen during a time when there aren't enough jobs being created for the millions of people, who lost their jobs because of an on going recession, which is now rapidly heading toward a depression.

If we continue to refuse to make good changes for ourselves then maybe we should make good changes for our children instead.
