In reply to the discussion: Ann Romney: "Throw out" the American public education system. [View all]JohnnyRingo
(18,636 posts)From calling for Detroit to fail to dismantling public education, Mitt Romney has sought a cheap(er) labor force for American business. Why anyone who punches a time clock would support him is beyond me.
at every campaign stop Mitt Romney preaches "12 million good jobs at increasing pay", but once a worker joins a union and receives a living wage, Romney and his band of republican corporate raiders cry that it's too much money for a common worker.
Private union workers who vote republican claim they just want to "rein in" the public unions, and conservative public union members feel they would do just fine without a union because they "deserve" what they earn.
They've pitted us one against the other in a mad race to the bottom of the pay scale, while executive compensation runs wild. We're at each other's throats trying to affix blame for a diminishing life style while the culprits sit at board meetings laughing their asses off. Such is the battlefield of class warfare where one side is taking lethal hits and the other taking Caribbean vacations.
