“Note that many of the under employed are counted simply
as employed.” Yes, yes, yes Night-Gaunt someone finally
gets it.

The things on the left are just different ways of
talking about the thing on the right, and vice versa. 
To trivialize any of them is to fail to achieve
change.

@Night-Gaunt: Actually, what you meant to say is that
almost all Americans are over-employed.  Since the
anarchists won us the eight hour day, average incomes
have risen about eightfold.  So, why aren’t we all
able to live off of one hour per day of labor?  We
live in a state of artificial poverty caused by
government bureaucrats (and their corporate allies)
creating artificial scarcity, because they’re
terrified of what we would do if we didn’t have to
spend half of our waking lives at work.
