That's odd... I seem to be doing just fine. Same goes for 99.999% of Americans I know.

You don't know many people. It doesn't matter what is going on with a handful of well-off elites, what matters is what is happening to a large percentage of the people, the number of people who have worked all their lives successfully who are now losing jobs or working for $6 an hour instead of $15 an hour.

Percentage-wise, this number is very, very small, historically. If you are looking for a government that guarantees you a job, maybe you should move to Cuba.

Well I hate to bring this up but it is not the government's job to regulate how much people make! Because when the government gets involved then the free market isn't free any longer!

The reason corps are heading out of America to set up manufaturing is because the government and the unions have made it worth the trouble.

Profit is akin to water, they both flow towards the least resistance.

More government regulation trying to stop corps from cutting and running is gonna get you nothing but more of the same.

The answer to the problem is really simple! Get rid of the stupid regulations, tell the damned Unions to stuff it and let businesses get back to what they are good at... making products at a profit, instead of being forced to hold senstivity training seminars and provide health care beneifts and retirment accounts, and worry if they are in violation of some trumped up EPA or OSHA regulation.
