"Our goal as a civilization should be full unemployment, not full employment."

6. You would be well aware of what happened to jobs and "work" over the past 40 years.

There is no dignity in subsistence and slave wages. Four decades of manual labor in America leaves many of us infirm and broken by the time we get to 60.

We have Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and not much else.

But I'm not talking about what didn't work for the vast majority of Americans in the past. That's gone. Sure, some people grabbed the brass ring of life. But most lived our "quiet lives of desperation," making it from one day to the next feeling lucky we did that.

I want to talk about the world our children and grandchildren are going to live in.
