[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 1586645, member: 2189"] Some of us hold to a much broader definition of [B]"entitled, welfare sucking American" [/B]than is typical but I think most people dislike someone who makes it a career and as opposed to someone who is just having some unexpected or untimely misfortune in their life. And I do agree that "great jobs" are just not out there which IMO has a greater impact on forcing down wages as opposed to there not being enough union members or what have you. It's a purely buyers market of labor right now as opposed to a sellers labor market. It also doesn't help that going into business for one's self or creating a new business has become so costly as a result of the regulatory state who more often than not IMO is acting on behalf of established businesses as a firewall to prevent up and coming competition that would threaten the existing cartel or monopoly. UPS for example doesn't cry about increasing safety regulations because it knows this just increases the startup burden to anyone thinking of entering the same market as a competitor. Actually UPS likely does cry but it's, "please Brer Fox, please don't throw me into the briar patch" but the irony is that Brer Fox is on the take and gets a cut of the action from the old trickster Brer Rabbit. All the while the rest of us beat on the political and social tar baby (red herring if you will) and get nothing but dirty and sticky as a result. [/QUOTE]
