40 hrs a week? I usually worked over 50 I had several part time jobs at once. I did that so my my wife could stay home, and raise our chilren properlyWe paid for their education, and they received good ones. And I had good paying jobs, some were quite unpleasnt, andothers were almost slave labor, All of us who worked in the "rust belt cities"were sold out by special interest groups who paid lobbyists more in a week than we made in a year.We never mention corporate welfare, its there and just as expensive as social welfare. The goverment didn't send our jobs over seas, they wre pushed to do so by special interest groups who paid money to ploiticains who didn't know what physical work was, and still don't today
