  • IT WAS BOTH PARTYS I JUST GOT LAYED OFF AT RICOH FACTORY RIGHT AFTER WORK TO DAY

  • Sorry to tell you it was Presiden George Bush who lent 2 trillion dollars to the banks with no strings attached. It was President Obama who spent stimulus money and save jobs for you and other Americans. It was the Republicans who drove this country off track.

  • @websuspect it really make no sense!!!

  • @websuspect Look into fractional reserve banking. The problem is NOT capitalism, it is crony capitalism a.k.a. corporatism. The best regulation ever known to mankind is competition. The Federal Reserve printing money causing the bubbles to form is the problem.

  • @snerjeck please leave me alone

  • Blood from a stone. This piece from the AP observes that the company does not have the money, Bank of America is calling the shots, and will not authorize payment. Maybe they should have organized a "sit in" where the money is- Bank of America or maybe they should be looking for another job instead of sitting in "victim mode" as 1 months back pay will not last them a lifetime. Common sense can be such a burden.

  • Workers of the World, UNITE!

  • LOL

  • At 0:13, the video says that the WHOLE factory was shutting down.

  • THEY TOOK ER JOB!!!!
