About this title

Synopsis

"I bare witness to the American worker that feels the "fell clutch of circumstance," to quote Invictus, at or around forty years of age. I bare witness to the fact that despite past performance, college preparation, individual contribution, teamwork, no one is immune to the Leviathan called the global economy and its dictates to save on costs: the largest being employees and benefits. I bare witness to the human toll of NAFTA and CAFTA. These are not programs of one party or the other: these are programs that affect the many and enrich the few. If I were to smile and disappear like a "good Cheshire cat" ala "Alice in Wonderland," what has happened to me, what has happened to many, what is and will in the foreseeable future still happen, will not be paused on or new course considered unless a new report is given."
