Rant: "People who work for a living; people who take a shower after work"...WTF is that?

[Demsrule86]

69. Then this country is finished...and so are the Dems in the rust belt.

The GOP will lie to them over and over. We will never have an economy that works by selling hamburgers to one another ...and why pray tell can't jobs come back when the jobs exist...but corporations are manufacturing overseas for cheap wages...seems to me the jobs could come back if there was the will to address bad trade deals and maybe institute a few gasp tariffs for those countries that screw us such as Japan and Korea. The Democratic Party would do well to figure out how to do that...they would be elected for life if they did. It would be as it was in the days of Roosevelt. New factories can be built...with a manufacturing plan and government support. Now retail is going away...millions work in retail...exactly how do you think this country can survive continual job losses?

A shrug of the shoulder and a 'these jobs are not coming back' won't cut it. You know the old saying...first they came...well it could be rewritten as follows. First they cam for the steel industry, then the garment industry, then the electronic industry, then the auto industry. Retail is going down now which has little to do with trade but still hurts this country. Soon it could be your job, as white collar jobs are being shipped overseas or turned over to H1B1 visa workers...the jobs are not coming back may have a more personal meaning to you at some point'. And for those of you who are retired...you should consider what it would have meant to you during your working years to have this sort of environment. And that you will lose your benefits if there are no good paying jobs to keep social security and medicare afloat. Bad economic policy does spark revolution but not a Democratic revolution, but rather a fascist one often based on hatred of the perceived 'other' ( designated scapegoated which today means illegal workers). You want to save this country...so do I . We won't do it without a jobs program...which includes manufacturing as well as other jobs.
