My father was a staunch believer in the right to work, which in part at least is why we moved to Arizona, a right to work state.
As such wages are lower than in many other states which have gone to the unions.
Dad grew up and was a young man when armed (with clubs or worse) thugs working for the unions would intimidate the workers into joining and then voting the way they were told. Then you had the strike breakers who would jump the picket lines to keep the shop from shutting down.
This pitted neighbor against neighbor and was a sort of civil war, and people were killed over it.
Now we come to the part that is instrumental with our current problem. Consider this, the minimum wage when I left the Navy in 1964 was $1.25 an hour in AZ and now they are trying to get it to over $10 per hour,
and I want you to think what caused this.
Unions have constantly pushed for higher and higher wages and benefits and eventually the companies give in to the demands.
So guess who pays for it? You got it the consumer because the producer has to pass the cost along in order to stay in business.
So fast forward to today most manufacturing has been shipped to third world countries where people can work for peanuts.
Go take a look at the door panel of your nice Ford and see where it was built, Mexico and South America.
Caterpiller parts are made in Japan and China, you say you drive an American made Honda, yeah right made in Japan and assembled in USA.
Detroit is a ghost town, the foundries are nearly all closed we were at one time the largest manufacturer of steel in the world, now it's China.
Look at the labels in your clothes, 90% or more are made in china or other third world countries.
On and on ad-nauseum.
So you tell me who caused our predicament?
Greedy people with their hands out strangling the goose that laid the golden eggs.
Go read your history people we are no longer the proud country of my youth, in less than 70 years it has nearly been destroyed, and most people can't even see the handwriting on the wall.
Quit swallowing the garbage the mainstream media is feeding you and take the time to ask questions then find the answers. With the internet at your fingertips there is no excuse for ignorance, you do have to sift the truth from the falsehoods but it just takes a little time, once you get the knack for it.
If the only place you see a story is in blogs take it with a great big spoon of salt and keep looking, listen to people from Wallbuilders and skim over the clowning around and listen to what Glenn Beck has to say he is a Libertarian Patriot, and we need more like him if the USA is going to survive.
Now quit listening to a grumpy old crackpot who's time has nearly run out and get with the program before it's to F-ing late, it's your country and problem now.
