money. No, some people aren't working because they are making too much money from the stock market. Other's aren't working because they are afraid to return to plants with too little pay and too much unsanitary and unprotected working conditions.
Corporations are "killing it" with record profits but killing jobs with reducing payrolls and paying poverty wages.
Lowering taxes on UNEARNED income and the widening wealth gap is undermining our democracy economically. A GOP hell-bent on furthering their racism and bigotry are undermining our democracy socially.
You knew we were in trouble when multimillionaires paid huge sums of money to get their affluent children into colleges by cheating!
Who are the people who really want something for nothing?? it's not the working men and women of color. They are the scapegoats.
It's the people who already have everything and want to be sure that the rest of us get nothing.

Some quotes from the Ten Commandments:
3. Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain.
6. Thou shalt not kill.
7. Thou shalt not commit adultery.
8. Thou shalt not steal.
9. Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.
And these are your so call Christians.

One of the reasons the service industry is having trouble finding workers is the really low wages, the fact that foreign workers aren't coming, and lack of housing for the seasonal workers who leave in October.
Montana sucks for workers who aren't miners or some large industrial execs.
One reason there is no housing is that people are moving here, in droves, from other states with higher economic situations, buy up the housing and turn it into vacation and seasonal rentals. The locals can't afford the raised rent demands from new landlords. It's going to suck to live here in the near future.
