[QUOTE="804brown, post: 805919, member: 29553"] Hoaxster, I don't think "most Americans" know this unlevel playing field exists. That old model made this country a strong middle class society for decades. It is this "Fedex model" -lower wages, lower benefits-maybe we should call it the Walmart model, that is destroying that once strong middle class society. You are right Obama and the Dems had an opportunity to level that playing field. However, a few corporate Dems backed away when all of a sudden that legislation could have passed. Plus, no Repubs wanted to hurt their corporate benefactors. But then again, Obama's biggest mistake was not pushing from Day 1 campaign finance reform that included Public financing of elections, but I digress. [/QUOTE]
