6. And what if you are NOT one of those Workers?
What if you are just an American who went to high school in your hometown and only wants to get a job at the same plant your father worked in for 25 years? What is wrong with everyone in this country? Why is neither side talking about bringing back real PRODUCTION in this country?


WHY are we letting this stand?
