Say it ain't so. I left off the /sarcasm - sorry.
Would you want your buisness operation dictated by your employees?
This kinda sounds like the problem we are hiving with the media wanting the complaining soldiers to be running the show in Iraq.
Liberals can't stand leaders who lead.
I caught it.
Just like you caught the underlying theme in these posts. Unions are a leftist tool. Of course they will try and blame the GOP for the problems they've created. They don't want their members turning their gaze in their direction as the cause of their problems. They will incite them against Bush, or anybody but themselves.
No longer were manual accounting ledgers being used, or income tax returns being prepared manually. Most of the routine, tedious tasks were now automated through tax/accounting software and electonic spreadsheets.
My point in this is that to not just survive, but prosper, it's going to take a lot of work on the individual's part to be proficient in a variety of tasks. Nobody promised us that life would be easy, only life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
It took me more than 15 years after I left the Army to find my 'dream job'. Along the way there were hirings, firings, lay-offs, crappy jobs, decent jobs, decent bosses, crappy bosses, plus a 600+ mile relocation.
Living in a right-to-work state (Texas), I know that my dream job could be terminated tomorrow, with no recourse. Guess what? The very next day I'd be at Accountemps taking whatever contract work they had at $20-25 an hour, and working nights at Bank of America sorting checks at $10 an hour. I'd do this until my CPA practice had grown to sustain me full-time.
My memories of my temp assignments are quite fond, actually. There was a great deal of variety, and they seemed to appreciate the work I did for them. I'll admit that there were no health or insurance benefits, but I knew that going in.
As for tax returns being outsourced to India, that's a marketing opportunity for me!
Sorry for the rant, this is just my take.
