[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 1122031, member: 12508"] Republicans want people back at work [B]on their terms[/B], which means accepting low wages and crappy retirement programs and benefits. Witness the influx of these types of jobs in the South and Mid-South. Boeing, for example, just committed an investment of $1B in South Carolina, presumably because it wants a non-union workforce. SC is providing Boeing with $120M in incentives if Boeing meets certain investment targets, and in return, Boeing has promised 2,000 new jobs. So, the GOP-led SC government pays-off Boeing and they "invest" in South Carolina. How much will each of those jobs cost, realizing, of course, that there will be a multiplier effect as sub-contractors and other ancillary businesses locate in SC? These jobs will also pay less, because they are in SC, where "job creators" like to create jobs. Class warfare? FOX talking point, my friend. Yes, Obama has declared "war" on the Fred S's of the world, who basically already own the political process, and have all the advantages our government can provide for them. What a load of crap. If anything, these folks have almost [I]carte blanche' [/I]freedoms, and anyone who challenges these princes of industry is accused by FOX-types of being anti American. BS. Obama is smart enough to know that fracking represents considerable environmental risk, a risk which could far outweigh the economic benefits of cheaper oil. The GOP [I]wants [/I]all of us in [I]the former middle-class [/I]to be compliant worker bees content with $14 per hour, no pension or a very small one, and zero chance of unionization. This is Ground, and it is Republican nirvana. Sorry you cannot see that. [/QUOTE]
