You are absolutely right, VL.

Bargaining for a better living in the real world means being good enough at what you do that others WANT to pay you well.

Methinks kearnyirish has a case of lefty blarney-I-wish.

“Bargaining for a better living in the real world means being good enough at what you do that others WANT to pay you well.”

That worked well until American workers actually starting making money according to the supply-and-demand model; since then corporations have found ways (legal or otherwise) to either have the same work done overseas for much less money, or import a much cheaper workforce into this country. Make no mistake: we are all paying for those policies and their effects. Under the original operating model Obama would have NEVER been elected; he got in because enough hard-working Americans watched their standards of living deteriorate. Too many people who played “by the rules” are finding themselves at middle age with nothing; their homes are in foreclosure, and they are looking at a very real prospect of not working again (while their retirement age has been pushed back to 67 or more).
