I personally feel that most of the working citizens in America, today only work so they get payed and they have something to look forward to after they have retired from working their whole adult lives. It's nice to be treated every once in a while when you've done something great.

Maybe if they got payed more and put it away for a rainy day they might not complain, but there is always a chance.

In 1973, inflation began to climb at a pace unprecedented in the post-World War II decades, and economic growth slowed. An energy crisis, aggravated by American foreign policy in the Middle East, produced fuel shortages. Foreign competition in manufacturing brought less expensive, and often more reliable, goods into the U.S. market from nations such as Japan and West Germany. Both developments helped set off a round of plant closings and deindustrialization.
