7. Plus These Problems Appeared In Almost Every Industry Over Time.

You name the occupation and the problem of using undocumented workers appeared. I interviewed thousands of people during my career. The main reason we have a problem now is that the GOP created the conditions for lower pay as a way to put workers in a bind in such a way they would be against taxes. Surreptitiously the GOP kept adding taxes and fees to workers while reducing taxes for corporations and the rich.

They used declining wages as a way to cut revenue for government. It was an indirect way to starve government services. The trouble is that most voters do not have the information to see and understand the whole picture. Plus they have been positioned to understand only short slogans.
