Are you aware that if we died tomorrow, the company that we are working for could easily replace us in a matter of days? But the family we left behind will feel the loss for the rest of their lives.  We pour ourselves more into work than into our own family - an unwise investment don't you think?

Very true. :-)

Depends on whether the family will starve if you don't work.

"Poverty" nowdays is synonymous with depression.

What about all the depressed veterans who don't have a place to live?

300,000 vets homeless on any given night

And how about all the people who use the Oregan food bank.
people780,000 (unduplicated figure) where an estimated 42 percent of households needing help have at least one working member.

And that's just Oregon.

And if it wasn't for charity like the food bank, people would be starving just as in "The Depression". Just because there is a lot of food in the US doesn't mean everybody gets some. This will happen more as the government moves away from wealth redistribution because left to its own devices wealth concentrates.
