I was watching CBS news last night and they began playing the GOP meme of employer uncertainty. They were talking about the job numbers in a GOP sort of way. All the MSM seems to be mimicking False news right now.
The real truth is that the business community is being given a pass on its own malfeasance. Since Reagan the business community has become a "job destroying" machine and not a job creating one. For over 30 years now the business community has been downgrading and eroding jobs in the millions. They have been replacing good jobs with bad ones or lesser ones. The business community has been eroding all benefits to where fewer companies offer even meager benefits. You are lucky to even get a paycheck.
Older workers are being replaced by younger and younger ones with less and less pay. Jobs are shorter and shorter in duration and more temporary and contract jobs than they have ever been. Less hours in poor paying jobs. Extreme overtime without the pay in salaried jobs where salaried jobs are now passing 60 hours a week. Working conditions are deteriorating. Longevity on any job is virtually non existent.
Now GOP and conservative politicians are complaining about over regulation which is code for too many labor laws when workers rights are at the lowest over 30 years as we descend to the conditions of the Industrial Revolution. Now even child labor laws are considered as too regulatory. The ratio of good jobs to bad is now reversed from what it used to be. And each day good paying jobs are being abolished to be replaced with low wage no future employment.
When are we going to wake up as a nation? We are liked the slowly cooked frog and are one the brink real slavery in this country and still remain anti labor and anti union nationally. And we criticize Europe for their labor protections. Yet we let the business community and employers claim uncertainty and poverty when they are the most profitable in years.
IT IS TIME TO CALL OUT THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY. They are a bunch of money grubbing liars. Small business owners suffer as well due to unfair competition. The private sector has not and will not create sustenance jobs as they claim.
This situation is not caused by the policies of Obama, it is caused by the policies of big business. If Romney wins he will put good job destruction on the fast track like Bush never did.
