The American Worker is the American Worker. People that Republicans need to be proud of, NOT screw-over.
I am not a Repub, hell most of the people on this forum think I am a far left winger.
Then why do you write down of the American Worker?
I don't. I am honest about the American worker. you live in a fantasy land where you are a business owner and every worker is the most amazing thing since sliced bread.
The problem is both of those things only exist in your mind and not in reality.
I don't know any business owner who talks about overpaying labor, and at the same time, has thriving businesses.
Anybody in business who even wants to pay high salaries and provide outstanding benefits simply can't, because their competition will put them out of business. If you and I both manufacture widgets, we both have to sell them around the same price. I can't sell my widgets in the US if I pay my employees 50% more in wages and benefits than you do. Nobody would buy them.
This is the position many employers are in. I'm sure my employer would love to pay us more money, or even bring back heath benefits, but he can't because he's competing with other delivery companies that are paying the same as he is.
To me, OnePercenter sounds like a disgruntled blue collar worker who thinks he's drastically underpaid. He won't get into a profession that pays more, he won't get the training or education, he simply wants to inspect parts or something, and make 60K a year.
