Hey idiot ... you cant get to your job if the roads arent fixed, the bridges arent repaired and fuel prices are so high you cant fill up the tank, then where is your little growing business going to be when all public services goes to hell. Jesus these guys are idiots and brainwashed at the same time! GOP go fuck yourselves!

@Earthmoover As far as the rich"not paying their share",that's false.The top 2% of the rich pay 50% of the total tax revenue in the country.So,the oil CEO'S that make "30+ million in bonuses" if that's true,DO pay more money in taxes.Unions at one point were needed years ago for the benefit of the employee,no doubt.Nowadays the unions have become the greedy ones and they are part of the reason why companies get fed up and move to other states/countries.

@ZUFALL2938 like teachers who make 30K a year? I hear all this crap about how unions are demanding to much money, but what about the petroleum CEO's that make 30+ million a year in bonus's alone? we talk about how unions are killing jobs, but they make a fraction of what the people in charge do. This country is so anti worker. I don't get why everyone wants the rich to not pay their share. I don't think people realize, unless you are born rich, you'll never be rich anymore.

there is a difference between a job and a career. but work and a job are the same.

ex. McDonald's is a job. a lawyer is a career.

@jfrsnjhnsn well I think,and this is my opinion,that its a combination of the unions and climate regulations that force domestic factories to bail outta here.....tthe unions are very quick to demand and demand and demand and when the companies give in(because theres no way they can afford to have their employees strike) and the employees immediately turn into typical "union employees" maximum pay AND benefits for minimum production.

[jfrsnjhnsn]

@ZUFALL2938 I'm saying they can't be trusted to do so if they can help it. The most common example is how the auto industry closed down domestic factories and opened them up in other countries so that they could save money, plunging American neighborhoods into poverty.

@jfrsnjhnsn why do you say "small or big buisinesses'" dont benefit the economy????

[TruthinessDotCom]

I see Steel's point. If I were unemployed,and friend of mine (who works for a contractor) says "Hey,we have this big job to do,and we're looking for extra help," and I say "yeah," then yes,I'm "working," but I don't have a "Job." After the dry wall's up,I go back to watching Youtube and eating Cheetos all day. I "worked" for somebody,but I didn't have a "job" I'd go to for some time beyond a temporary project I took part in.

[jfrsnjhnsn]

I wish to God the GOP would get off this myth that American business owners, big or small, can be trusted to "create jobs" in some way that benefits the economy. That has been proven false, beyond a shadow of a doubt.
