If you have a low paying job you have no one to blame but yourself.
“If you have a low paying job you have no one to blame but yourself.”
That oversimplification put Obama in the White House. At this point we are graduating students from schools that are trained in things that 2 years ago were viable careers but have since been 1) outsourced to another part of the world, or 2) flooded with foreign workers under the H1-B scam. Too many people that did everything right are unable to find work at decent wages...
Let's set aside those who didn't have opportunities or lacked the capacity for more due to health or other reasons.
I know college educated people, in technical fields not 'the arts', who are in low paying jobs or looking for low paying jobs just to have an income.
One was illegally fired due to age; he was an electrical engineer in a supervisory role and now listens to headhunters say, "I believe my client is looking for someone younger."
Another is young, fresh from his education but hasn't field experience yet thanks to the Obama economy.
Another became a full-time caregiver when his family needed him.
Yes! It's all their fault. They deserve to suffer, to lose their homes, to eat off the street like stray dogs. Maybe the evil, inhumane conservative stereotype the Democrats put out really does exist in the flesh.
To those "I got mine" Freepers who troll topics playing the blame game on Americans who have been forced to turn to assistance programs, can't find work, are underemployed or have been wiped out by the economic meltdown I say, "HIRE!"
And, surprise, surprise, not a single one of them steps up.
