We Are Letting American Business Off The Hook In That -----
The US Chamber of Commerce and American business is standing on the sideline waiting for a better deal. They do not want American workers even if they are qualified and well trained. The American work wants too much money and benefits. They would rather bring in a foreign worker who makes a lot less than pay an American.
Plus they want the worker to train themselves and pay for themselves. And they want to pay wages no one can live on. That reality is the new reality. We ignore that fact.
The new deal that employers want is the end of the Fair Labor Standards Act and they are waiting for a Romney and GOP to deliver it. What that means to workers is NO MINIMUM WAGE and NO 40 HOUR WEEK or OVERTIME PAY. That gives the employer the ability to pay whatever they want because it is the free market. Any government oversight is too socialistic and anti business.
So while we debate so many irrelevant issues the business community sits on the sidelines counting all the money they are deliberately holding out on. THE BRUTAL TRUTH IS THAT AMERICAN BUSINESS BELIEVES THEY SHOULD HAVE A FREE RIDE ON WAGES AND TAXES AND JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING ELSE.
Just like food, shelter, clothing, health care and a job. IT IS A PRIVILEGE that you work for. If you can't then TOO BAD.
That is what this election is about. Unless you slave for crumbs you are a takers. Remember Scrooge.
