American low wage workers' tour

[walmartramen]

Note that school workers work for the state & if your state is not doing good, then things get bad. All this relates to tax dollars. If your state has low taxes, low money comes in to your school system. Kids don't get the help to learn they need & test scores get low, etc. Workers have a hard time & don't make it. Many do not know the poverty of the workers. They don't get out & be seen. I ask every one too. The squeaky wheel gets the oil. If people don't know the poverty no help.

[walmartramen]

Looks like my town & many people want lower taxes there? No taxes no help for you.

Does anyone remember minimum wage of $5+? I remember kids in my class, that

ate once a day & the teachers crying over this. The mother made $5+ an hour. Like $3 after taxes. Life cost more now & the wages are not matching it. Low taxes Low pay put us here. Kids in school are losing their ED because of lack of money. Now scores are low. There is your low taxes!

[trnjana]

@noseMF There are 20 million vacant houses in USA anyways and the banks hold them in their hands using monopoly while poor people have to suffer...That happens when people are not able to build houses on their own land the way they want to...Everything what was built by the companies termites will eat it...

[noseMF]

[TwiztedAnimator]

Ed Brown? The same Ed & Elaine Brown? The Tax Patriots?

[notfair2222]

We have a tiny little man here our Prime Minister John Howard whos trying to follow your Republicans. They hate Unions, have cut rights and wages and generally put us on the road to a soceity where there are less people who have all the wealth and the majority slave away trying to make ends meet. Wer'e not as bad of as you are yet, but he's trying hard. Open your eyes and get out and use your right to vote. Get rid of Bush before there is nothing left for the ordinary worker.

[chrisered]

RBLA818,as it would appear from your shrill response that you seem to be the one who is incapable of rational debate in this matter and you obviously have no concept of 'understatement' I wouldn't surprise me if you are a rednecked american. Please grow up!

[gmfutube]

You had better vote more carefully than just democrat!

Bill Clinton was NOT labor friendly! Do the research. Look at NAFTA.

2 Honest Dem candidates - Gravel & Kucinich.

The others care no more about the working class than Bushco.

[asdffd]

Sadly, I don't deny that which is why Americans would be insane to elect another Clinton. BUT, if you look at the vote it was passed with overwhelming Republican support and a majority of Democrats opposing. In general, it would be foolish to deny that Democrats are not far more pro labor than Republicans- even a backstabber like Clinton.

[gobe66]

Ahh the world little johnny howard is striving for.

I would like to see him try to SURVIVE like these people.

Death before liberal!!!!!!

If you stop paying income tax you'll have more money.

Watch Arron Russo's film for free.

do a google search for

"Watch:America:Freedom to Fascism-Director's Authorized Version"

[powertools1]

Well, maybe.

[powertools1]

You would also have to pay for more by yourself. Call taxpayer funded police or pay a security guard? Who fills the hole in the road in front of your house? You support & care for your infirm elderly family, unemployed relative. I'm happy to contribute to my community by paying taxes even when I don't always agree with how they are spent.

[gyndame]

I'm talking about the Federal Income Tax. Police are paid by local taxes, roads by gasoline tax, schools by property tax, etc. The Federal Income Tax is a voluntary tax. There is no law that states we must pay it or fill out a 1040. Our country has been in existence longer without the tax than with the tax. 67M have stopped paying because they realized that it was a voluntary tax. Citizens get no benefits from this tax.

The global plantation will be fun, for everyone. Please continue to do the zombie!

[RBLA818]

Republicans tell people that you should pull yourself up by your Boot Straps, but then they steal their boots!

Then they hang a huge American flags and claim to be great Patriots!!!

The only thing "Trickledown Economics" did is to trickle the blood of working Americas while sinking our Economy!

[RBLA818]

Americans Sacrifice with Their Sons and Daughters in Iraq, At The Gas Pump, Colossal National Debt, Declining Wages, Disappearing Jobs and pensions! But Corporations and Billionaires Sacrifice by Obscene Record Profits While Paying Little to No Taxes!!

[asdffd]

Fucking Republicans, they have destroyed my country and decimated the middle class. The fact that one of the few friends Bush has left is the leader of Australia lets me know that Aussies are as stupid as my fellow Americans.

[gmfutube]

You cannot blame only the Republicans - Clinton signed some of the most respressive union laws also.

It was during the Clinton admin that the right to stage sympathic strikes was made illegal.

Clinton also put through NAFTA, which first fucked Mexican workers, and the same folks are happy to dive them here to break unions in the US with cheap labor.

WORKERS UNITE!

[notfair2222]

I'me an Aussie and ashamed to say you could be right. We have to get rid of John Howard before he does to this counrty what has been done to yours. We have little left as ordinary citizens....that is unless you are one of the few who hold the majority of the wealth in this country. I have cried for your Country and soon it may be us .Wake up Aussies.

[exweez]

liberals have good intentions but when their ideas are made policy this is what happens.40 years after the war on poverty.

[frankshoehorn]

The min wage in the UK is $11 US and its going up to $12 US in October.

[notfair2222]

I just checked my payslips and I earned more per hour in 1998 than I do now. Is it just me or is there something wrong here. I'me an Aussie and I have seen the signs ..we are on the road that America is travelling and if we dont get rid of Howard this year it will be the last chance to save this country from him and his cronies. Come on Aussies its compulsary to vote, so you may as well make it count, get rid of Howard before he destroys anymore of our rights.

[Glidescube]

yes but a gallon of milk costs 32.00

[bangercox]

Howard has a hearing aid and can afford to fall over,

while the US chases the oil and gold.

The only way to keep the population in control is to

keep them poor. Will you let this happen?

Will you put your family in poverty;

is closer then you think. NO JHON!!

[bangercox]

not on your life mate!!

[notfair2222]

Well said....I honestly fear for future generation in this country (Aus)Howard is steamrolling over us and there is little we can do except take the opportunity to get rid of him. If we dont we will watching our childreen never being able to own a home, wages stripped away to minimums and the few rights we have in the work arena gone. No wonder Bush and little Johhny are great mates they are both batting for the wealthy and bugger the poor.

[hokeboy]

This is why having the liberals in both houses scares the crap out of me. They treat the economy as king and we will all suffer because of it.

[qld4115]

And Howard has the balls to try and tell us its good for us, the trouble is there are alot of workers out there that believe him no matter how many times they are told the truth.

[violetlight7]

I hope a lot of people in Australia watch this. And vote accordingly.

[chrisered]

'Full employment' is a liberal euphemism for exploitation of non-unionised low paid workers. No wonder the libs hate unions, after all unions have the gall to demand fair wages and conditions?

[RBLA818]

Liberals Hate Unions?!?!?!?!?!?! I know Australia is not on another planet, but you sure seem to be!!!!

Please!!!!!! Get back on your Medication QUICK!!! You've gone insane without it!!

Do you realize you just made a total Ass out of yourself with that comment? Or were you always an Ass?

[Aragajag]

The Liberal Party in Australia which is our government at the moment hates unions.

I know USanA is not on another planet, but you sure seem to be!!!!

[RBLA818]

This Video is talking about the United States!!!! You make a comment about it and expect us to know that you are talking about Australia???

But okay, good to know you are for Unions!

Peace!!

[SustainOz]

One more win for the Lib's and this will be Australia.

[Aussie99999]

Looks like Howies ideal world!
