Okay, so we've been talking alot about Marx and his views on how the working class works. I'm assuming everyone paid attention, but for a refresher...What I'm addressing is the fact that the working class is being taken advantage of by the business owners.
Something Dr. Schuler said stuck out to be, about this totally disregarding intelligence and training and so on, but I was wondering if thats true.
For example, my father works for the Anniston Army Depot as the Database Admin at chemical weapons disposal plant. He spends all day running codes, reports and checking to make sure that the computers are doing what they are supposed to do. He's spent YEARS learning how to do this, and there aren't a whole lot of people who CAN do it....if he starts talking about it around most people, they either start druling or get violent.
Now, his the company that we works for honestly does not pay him what he is worth, or treat him with the respect that I believe he has earned. BUT they DO recognize his use, and pay him more than they pay others. I see this as only partially taking advantage of his skills, because they aren't COMPLETELY ignoring what my father can do, they just aren't COMPLETELY giving him what he is worth, either. What do you think that Marx would think? Speak.
