[QUOTE="The Other Side, post: 1068282, member: 17969"] Unfortunately, this is true, but to understand your point, you have to offer the political end to those points and who's to blame for that. Yes, its gonna be another republican rant. Starting with Reagan attempting to kill unions by allowing companies to outsource, followed by the signing of NAFTA by GH BUSH, the direction of this country was doomed to be in this situation. People on this very board DEFEND profits over people, saying that the "bottom line" for the shareholders was more important than keeping americans working. Maybe now, people can understand that OUTSOURCING jobs creates monsters in this country. Outsourcing places all americans at risk as the jobs that remain are being taken by illegals who the businesses want working for them for low wages. The middle class has been under attack starting with reagan, bush & bush, and yet , there are still people willing to call themselves republicans. Our society is struggling because not enough of us are standing up to corporate america and to the politicians who protect them. Yes, our college kids cant find good jobs anymore, but who in washington cares on the republican side? What was the LAST piece of legislation passed by any REPUBLICAN that helped an american worker? Lets examine what they have tried.... McCain & collegues tried to eliminate the federal minimum wage, they tried to overturn the Fair Labor Standard act of 1939 which established overtime, 40 hours a week fulltime, weekends off, holiday pay, vacation pay and pension contributions. We know they dont want people to have health care. Sure, they want people to buy it for themselves, but they dont want to make it affordable. Instead, its about making it more expensive. They dont want kids to take pelgrants or loans for school without those loans being so costly nobody would take one out. We have decayed along way since reagan got the ball rolling. As long as companies like Walmart are allowed to import everything from china, we will never recover. Its unfair competition for a small business to purchase goods from american companies in the states and compete with Walmart whos entire inventory comes from China or mexico. As the republicans war on workers continues through legislation for right to work, our situation will continue to get worse. peace TOS [/QUOTE]
