Every Domestic issue in this election comes down to wages.
We have to do something about illegal immigration --- why? ---- because the average American's wages are not keeping up with the cost of living.

We have to do something about healthcare --- why? --- because the average American's wages are not keeping up with the cost of living.

Record Exxon profits and the price of gas --- why is this even and issue? -- because the average American's wages are not keeping up with the cost of living.

Battle over the tax rate -- no one REALLY wants higher taxes for anyone -- why is this an issue? -- because the average American's wages are not keeping up with the cost of living.

Education -- why? -- because the average American's wages are not keeping up with the cost of living and this downward spiral is speeded up when more and more people cannot afford a decent education.



WE DO NOT NEED MORE JOBS. I am sick of the candidates telling me they are going to create jobs. Screw you. Most of us have 2 or 3 JOBS. We don't need another job. We can barely juggle all the jobs we have NOW. Give us wages instead of sending all the money to the top. Then I'll believe you care more about America than you do lining your own pockets in Washington.
