You know what, I don't care anymore - nn

I started in this profession back in the late 70s, learning "in house, on the job," my first job working from home, was when my kids were approximately 9 and 11 and obviously, not infants.  My mother was dying at that time, and I answered a local ad in the paper to pick up tapes in 1997 and transcribe for 5 cents a line.  Fast forward to the early 90s, we now have the "Lady Madonna Syndrome" -- meaning, I want to stay at home with my six or more children, home school and be SUPER mamma!!!  Whom do you think takes care of those children?  As a taxpayer, I do  -- I made a CHOICE -- that was to have 2 children and I raised them the best that I could and as a SINGLE mother I might add with no help from their "sperm donor."

Quite frankly, I am sick and tired hearing about unions  -- I have a B.A. i Management and did my thesis on "the American Worker versus the Japanese Worker."  The BIGGEST difference was if something happened, the Japanese were still guaranteed a lifetime job with benefits and if that worker died, a family  member was hired on.  At the time that I was working in the "private sector" and doing work towards my degree, we had SEVERAL strikes occur at Catepillar.  At that time (and I am talking 1981), we had men come in who were making $50/hour at Cat, but had to apply for jobs and they could not understand why we could only offer them maybe $15//hour and they refused  -- they actually made more on unemployment. 

MANY want tol blame things on "the current administrations;" however, this has been going on since the turn of the century.  Unions are also VERY muched based on socialism and not a democracy, which America was founded upon. 

I am not happy going with a company who has me on a time clock, i have a job and plenty of work and for those of you whom are ICs, they are asking for coverage.  I was an IC before my current job, paid weekly made great money, but lost the account because the client felt we were not meeting TAT.
