Here are our jobs;
Higher taxes and government policies made it impossible. O and Michelle railed against the American dream in 2008, they called it middle class-ism and told people to stop trying to earn more and become volunteers, work at non-profits and stuff.
Remember when Pelosi hectored Bush because his 5% unemployment rate was only because Bush was creating “McJobs”?
In the Era of Baraq, McJobs are the new middle class standard.
Just raise the minimum wage to $15.
Then we can all struggle harder yet.
Here are our jobs;
the socialism of obama and democrats doesn’t work
Wait till they start screaming about middle class taxes!
This is how a nation declines. It’s slow. And normal keeps shifting. After ten years people just sorta say, “what happened”. If they even notice.
I remember in 2006 I commented on Seattlebubble.com that real estate could go down as much as 20%. It sounded, even to me, like crazy talk and I was ridiculed for it. But it went down ~50% in many areas and people just shrugged it off.
I swear humans are even more adaptable than cockroaches.
Translation: That’s why the Left wants $15 per hour minimum wage pay so all the illegal aliens can join the “middle class” of slave laborers.

I saw this article in the local Sunday newspaper. Sad but true. It affects a lot of fields, too; it’s pretty hard to find full-time work as a librarian around here, too.
Good luck middle class. Your current government, the Obama regime, is seeing to it you will never achieve anything other than what they allow.
Thing is, they got you all fooled into thinking that government can make the impossible, possible. LOL
Globalization, illegal immigration and automation destroyed jobs in the US. Globalization killed off many high paying blue collar jobs while illegal immigration destroyed many low paying blue collar jobs. Now with the push for H-1B guest tech/skilled workers, corporate America will finish off upper middle class white collar jobs. Big business has played a role that many freepers ignorantly ignore and choose to concentrate only on big gov. Both big business and big gov have been the enemies of middle America. WTO, NAFTA, MFN etc etc has been equally devestating as EPA, ACA taxes and regs.
It’s been going on for over 40 years. Some of Nixon’s favorite constituents were pushing to shift manufacturing overseas long before plans were put into actions. There was no real recovery from any of those “recessions” since the late 1970s. For now, those with lower incomes in government positions are being laid off (mostly clerks in regulatory offices, with administrators requiring engineer stamps on everything and simply collecting fees for their larger incomes). Building, producing and saving money on energy continue to be illegal for common Americans in many ways.
***“Some people took those jobs because they were the only ones available and haven’t been able to figure out how to move out of that,” Bill Simon, CEO of Wal-Mart U.S.***
Why not do like I did to escape agricultural starvation minimum wages forty four years ago and LOOK IN THE WANT ADDS FOR BETTER PAYING JOBS!
Or stick with WALMART and take advantage of internal promotional programs.

Welcome to the Obama Economy........
And Obama is struggling even harder against ‘em.
“that path has narrowed because many of the next-tier jobs no longer exist. That means more lower-wage workers have to stay put.”
A condition completely engineered by the current occupant of the Whitehouse. Its called destroying the American middle class and creating the new Proletariat.
