...but the rich use our labor and our resources to extract wealth. That fact should never be forgotten.

Thanks!

If every wage earner were given a 50% raise. There would be enough demand for every service and product for every company to hire more people.

Currently, almost all wage earners in this town are either unemployed or working extreme overtime. If they can pay time and a half to those working and still make a profit, they can afford to give everyone that 50% raise.

Henry Ford Economics 101.

The American worker has not had a raise since 1970.

Forty plus years of failure... and still the Majority of American people can not figure out that prosperity comes from DEMAND.

No business in the WORLD will hire people until there is DEMAND for their product.

When workers have money to buy tires and microwave ovens.. the economy expands. The Republicans INSIST that tax breaks for the wealthy and lax banking laws benefiting the 1% create jobs. Republicans would rather cut off their left hand, rather than give a worker 5-cents-an hour raise.

If the American people were smart (never happen) they would join Unions and be in the street demonstrating against Reaganomics and the top 1% control of our economy.

Maybe when people finally get sick and tired of being sick and tired.. they will take action. Until then.... more of the same.

AND the rich had lower taxes. Yes, their logic is a major fail and it's sad that so many people buy into it.

It's pretty simple. Government ought to pump money into the bottom of the economy, and skim it off the top before it rots the political system.

People who are poor buy things they need. People who are middle class buy things that make life pleasant and comfortable. Very wealthy people buy legislation that fucks everything up.
