(10,602 posts)Age discrimination is viewed by business as a right of doing business. Workers are now like aging athletes, once you are too old to compete you are DONE. The GOP believes that discrimination practices of all kinds are part of a business man's right to do business any way he or she or they want.
If you do not believe that go back to 1900 where such a belief was the dominant theme. Nothing has changed in 114 years. Business still believes it has that right and that is part of the code meme "getting government off of people's back. The problem is that most Americans to not understand that idea is in place today. It is the same idea as "work at will". That is they can fury you any time the please and let you go even after many years of service. You can be cut off and abandoned without warning and without means.
The entire GOP and business agenda is that YOU ARE ON YOUR OWN PERIOD.
