    As long as the USA allow the outsourcing of service sector jobs and allows the importation of Communist scumbag sweatshop labor, (something the two BS corporate parties refuse to discuss), this will get worse until we replace all three rotten branches of government.
    As for the ones who obstructed a real investigation into 9-11, I would like rendition to be their reward. Be afraid, be very afraid.

    Speaking of a worsening job market, you never explained how, raising the minimum wage would not accelerate the offshoring of jobs.

    Im so glad you decided to stay on topic!

    Well you see, greedy AH capitalist and Christian looney tuner Sam Walton made a trip to Communist China to see if the Chinese would put political prisoners in their work camps to churn out plastic crap for his stores and they would be working for almost nothing. He wined and dined the aforementioned Chinese generals and they went for it.

    Pretty soon factories started closing down and moving thousands of miles away to China. Even an idiot jackass like you should understand that closing down factories and moving them to China would mean less jobs here in the USA.
    Therefore this ment more and more people would be competing for fewer and fewer jobs.

    This ment that more people graduating from High School would have no choice but to join the military to protect the oil profits of our glorious empire.

    This also ment that employers could offer less money to their employees, except for those pesky minimum wage laws.

    Would you believe there are jackasses that want to pay the least possible to their employees while they have millions they could never spend in their lifetime sitting in their off shore bank accounts?

    Yes ladies, gentlemen and jackasses, it was a race to the bottom of the wage scale.

    The poor get poorer and the rich get richer. Lets take a quick peek, shall we?

    Your post: ''greedy AH capitalist and Christian looney tuner Sam Walton made a trip to Communist China to see if the Chinese would put political prisoners in their work camps''
    1. Walton Died in '92 and China did not get ''most favoured nation trade status
    until 2001. The imports from China in Walton's time was minuscule by todays standards.
    2. The Walton Family should Sue you for slander.

    Your post: ''Even an idiot jackass like you should understand that closing down factories and moving them to China would mean less jobs here in the USA.''
    Once again, how will raising the minimum wage do anything other than accelerate the off shoring of jobs.

    If you don't like this capitalist system that made this country the envy of the World and the destination for people the world over who seek the opportunity the USA affords EVERYONE to succeed, then I suggest you try Communism....................... else.

    No one is FORCED to work, in fact nothing is stopping you from putting your money at risk and opening a business across the street from your current employer and competing with him. In fact, if you donate money to 0bama, you are as good as guaranteed a federally backed loan to start your new company.
    Hey, you could pay your employees as much as you want.

    That's a very big problem for the U.S. I appreciate your point and hope that others will see that fighting among the people only helps the very wealthy. When we are fighting and name calling, we aren't watching the people who are doing us harm. America, let's get together. Quit voting for narrow issues. See the big picture.

    I am a 'go getter' and earned my first raise for the job I did at age 14, not because I held my employer hostage with the threat of a strike.
    Not since the first 2 months of my first job, have I earned minimum wage.
    The 60 to 64K I currently earn is a tad bit more than minimum wage I think and I do enjoy my 3 wks vacation.

    With all due respect for your opinion, google to find out who the economy does better under- the dems or the republicans. Then google to find out who has added the most to the National debt. Then begin to form your opinion of who would best help the economy. I believe that you will be surprised. Please, everyone do this.

    Under Obama's leadership this country has no budget. Even though Simpson/Bowles reported the giant waterfall this country will encounter on this course the Obama administration ignored the report and has turned to class warfare to try and stay in office for the benefits. He likes to play golf and she likes to travel and eat. Creating jobs isn't going to happen unless a coordinated repeal of taxes and regulations occurs. That won't happen until Obama is forced out of office this November.

    So if Obama is doing the exact opposite of what Reagan did to get the economy rolling, why are you expecting the same results? Please explain. I'll be right here anticipating your answer.

    I'm expecting different results than what Reagan did which was the root cause of this recession. That's my explanation. Cutting taxes for the wealthy didn't work back during the 80's, and it sure as hell didn't work during the aughties. However, raising taxes on the rich worked real well each time. It not only worked under Clinton, but it was very effective back during the 50's under Eisenhower where the wealthiest 1-percent paid a top tax bracket of over 90%.

    That's exactly why the GOP always blasts colleges and wants to jack up tuition rates. They don't want the population to be educated and read between the lines because then the GOP would be out of business after everyone could see through them.

    Is this helping? Do we want the economy to improve? Or just to outmean the other guy? We're Americans. We are better than this.
