You know that guy on the street corner already has a full time job right? He makes a lot of money from idiots who give him money. A LOT. I don't give them shit.
The left isn't ruining this country. Look at how the rich have never been richer. Things are out of wack. Workers aren't making enough and the people at the top have never been richer. Yes things are out of wack and assbackward. It started in the late 70's and 80's with Reagan. Corporations broke the social contract with workers. And things haven't been the same since.
Remember the late 90's? Ford and GM had record profits and paid their employees record profit sharing. But then in the 2000's Republicans said unions were the problem and they sent all those high paying manufacturing jobs overseas.
No longer can a person graduate high school and walk into a factory job that will support a family. It's blue collar hurting the most right? So what do you suggest we do for them?
We on the right believe people should do for themselves. Especially now with millions of jobs available nobody wants to work. So what should we do for those people, pay them more to not work?
You need to stop with those leftist lies. Republicans didn't send our jobs anywhere. They didn't have the ability to send them anywhere. The left has taxed them to death, regulated them to death, supported the unions that drove these companies nearly broke, and then you want to blame Republicans for sending jobs overseas? Let me remind you that since Reagan, we had two Democrat Presidents that each served two terms, two of those years each with a Democrat led Congress. Why didn't they change things back to like it was before Reagan if things were so great?
The rich have never been richer, so what do you want to do about that? Tax them? Okay, and all that does is make government richer. Which one is worse, and who does that help besides government.
Correct that you can't get out of high school and get a job paying enough to raise a family. That's why it's up to YOU to learn a skill or trade that will pay enough to raise a family. Look at the California ports. What's the problem there? They can't find enough dock workers or truck drivers. I'm a retired truck driver, and I can tell you it's a pretty good paying job. It doesn't take a lot of education either. You can find schools that take less than a month. They will train you, get you certified, and even guarantee you a job. It can't get much easier than that, but you have to be willing to take the necessary steps to secure such a career.
