Like posted above, the problem iwth America is illegal immigrants and outsourcing. There aren't any steel factories, small farms, auto factories, textile mills, or large working factories hardly left in America. Most of the people here now consider work a 12 hours shift sitting at a desk. That isn't work, work is 14, 16, sometimes even 24 hours actually doing something, plowing, planting, hard labour things. I have often been up three days at a time, plowing during the day, fixing the tractor at night, fixing the car, actually working. When me papaw was younger, he started working at 9, and never stopped. Still hasn't. He used to work his auto shop, fixing engines, water pumps, fuel pumps, carburators, crank shafts, transmissions (automatic and manual), starters, altenators, distributors, welding up engine blocks, welding exhaust pipes back together, actually working. He was strong then, he could pick up a fully dressed engine off a table, carry it over and set it in a pick up bed, and he could also pick them up out of cars and carry them to the table. He often took apart an engine, fixed it, and put it back together twice a day. That is work. Quality work, too. Many of the engines he built won races. The auto "mechanics" today just take a piece off and put a new piece on and throw the old away. Me papaw actually fixed the pieces instead of buying new ones. We need to bring back actual work, we need to change this country back into the great country it once was.
