[QUOTE=yawmwen;42897506]bourgeois actually rolls of the tongue rather nicely. bourgeois state is still applicable, and i in fact do not know a better term for what i was trying to describe.[/QUOTE]
Service Economy is the actual, accepted term, I believe.

You're sickeningly naive. As people have said: How can they go to college when they earn the equivalent of the US hourly minimum wage in roughly a week? (And let's face it, I'm probably being optimistic there, but I just wanted to couch it as a number you could understand)
This "bootstraps" shit really needs to stop. It deflects attention from the real issue (fucking horrid economic policy world wide) and blames the victims of said economic machine.
That's only so much outsourcing this fat-cat men in companies like nike can do before the third work is the 2nd world and it will finally be cheaper for them to make it in the same country they want to sell the products too. In which case they will twist the immigration rules to import them over here to work for shit money.
(Look at the meat processing plant businesses in america near mexico, the company's bring mexican immigrants over illegally by throwing incentives at them, then when they get caught it's the poor immigrants that get the stick and not the companies.)
That factor has been known for a long time now, but googling what i just said will bring up results like: [url]http://www.pri.org/stories/2013-05-15/meat-processing-across-midwest-largely-done-immigrants[/url]
