[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 1385514, member: 24302"] Right, Republicans can't think for themselves, FOX must tell them everything. I knew this long before there was a FOX. And here's a news flash: the economy hasn't improved. Companies, not just FedEx, have taken advantage of the crisis to trim workforces and hold down wages. Why? Because with more profit they can pay higher dividends, attracting Wall Street(i.e. the big 401k funds) to buy their stock, pushing the price up to where they can cash in their stock options and get even richer. Under this system, which really hasn't been around all that long, we may never, ever see a return to the days where people could find good jobs that gave them a good life and paid them a pension. This system is dependent on a large segment of the population being willing to settle for less. It's not a matter of them turning us into wage slaves, we're there already. And guess what, not only are the Republicans aware of this, the Democrats are too. Everyone is scrambling to get their well paid place in the pecking order of the new paradigm. And we're near the bottom of the pecking order, but not as bad off as Walmart employees, etc. Right now there are many college grads with a lot of debt and not enough jobs for all of them. The better jobs are fewer and fewer because too many have been shipped overseas. It's not the 1%, it's the 20% depending on the rest of us to settle for less. You can attack Republican bogeymen all you want, it's not this party or that, it's everyone who's figured this out maneuvering to get their's while the rest of us pitch fits because things aren't the way they used to be. I wish it weren't true but it is, and you'll never hear this on FOX or MSNBC. [/QUOTE]
