What is bad about being a community organizer?
seems pretty damn noble if you ask me, not bad. Somebody who devotes their time and energy to helping others raise their status in life. That's pretty cool to me.
The "bad" part about it, if you can really call it that an organizer must beg for money from someone else. It's like a charity only you go to the government for money. Once you become part of that government, yet still don't know how to raise money, you are left floundering and trying to figure out who to take from and still get re-elected. Those people need to pay more, those people being people who won't vote for me. Nearly all solutions to a community organizers problems involves other people's property (get down with OPP).
It's not really ideal experience to understand anything at all about economic principals or how the private sector operates.
Ideally the private sector is what props up an economy by providing jobs, goods and services that the general populations needs, wants, or even thinks they want. It's purpose is not to feed the government so they can provide instead. If a government cannibalizes the private sector you are left with Russia or North Korea. Fortunately we are large enough and strong enough that it would take generations for the US to reach those lows but we are trending in this direction.
Do I think a community organizer understands this? How could he unless he's actually been a producer and felt the effects of government cannibalism?
