Until we wake up and see that right wing pandering to the profits of billionaires and monopolistic corporations do nothing but destroy our economic engine, we will continue to see rising unemployment, destruction of our manufacturing base and our infrastructure. An insecure working class is a good thing for the fat cats. You sit down, shut up, and eat whatever they feed you because you're so damned happy to have a job.
Every time I read one of your posts, I picture Perchik from Fiddler on the Roof.
After Jacob had worked for Laban for seven years,
do you know what happened?
Laban fooled him and gave him his ugly daughter Leah.
So to marry Rachel, Jacob was forced to work another seven years.
So, you see, children,
the Bible clearly teaches us
you can never trust an employer.
And that is what the Bible teaches us?
That is the lesson of the story of Jacob... if you interpret it correctly.

Cry about handing over ALL our money over to weapons maufactureres to build a bunch of weapons we don't need, cry about that money just going up in smoke, gone forever- but don't cry about your friends and nieghbors getting a little extra money because every dime of those inhanced wages will go right back into the economy..
