Where are the fucking jobs?
Hey John Boner and Mitch McChinless if tax cuts for the wealthy creates jobs then where are the fucking jobs. Unemployment went up to 9.8% officially. The American people are suffering, we need jobs. Tell me your plans to get jobs to Americans.... Go ahead I'll wait. Oh you can't because you don't have a fucking plan. Tax cuts for the top 2% never created one single job. We would have gain jobs over the last ten years instead of losing them.
Our jobs have been shipped overseas, but do our elected officials care. Except for a few no. All of those stupid free trade agreements was the worst thing that to the American workers since the election of Ronald Reagan. But if anybody speaks up about it they are shouted down with screams of protectionism. Well is protectionism a bad thing? With so many people out of work we need some protection.
Not only that the gap between the rich and poor has grown over the last 30 years. Wages for the American worker has remained flat. A Walmart CEO makes more money in one hour than the average Walmart makes in a year. But that CEO needs a tax cut, spare me the bullshit. America wake up we are in the middle of a class war and we are losing. We outnumber them our voices is louder than theirs. When they scream about class warfare tell them "You god damned right it is class warfare and the rich has been waging the war on us for the last 30 plus years".
So Boner and McChinless I'm still waiting on my answer but I won't hold my breath. Until then you and your party can go fuck yourselves.

3. Weren't the trade agreements more under Clinton than Reagan?
Al Gore debated Ross Perot who used to refer to the giant sucking sound of jobs leaving the country.

5. I said they were the worst thing since Reagan
Clinton was the one who signed them. When I mention Reagan I was referring to his union bashing and union busting. He fired the opening salvos in the war against the American worker.

16. Yeah but he didn't sign Nafta.
It is ironic that types like Pat Buchanan and Ross Perot, who weren't union men, understood the perils of trade while Clinton didn't. Why is Clinton never called to account on this? He also allowed the lack of regulations for derivatives that caused a lot of this mess. Yet we tout the Clinton economy and bash Reagan.

The worst harm to the American worker probably came out of Clinton policies.

4. They are very careful to say that the tax cuts would affect jobs in the future
It's a classic carrot on a stick thing. It's all the worse kind of bullshit.

6. 10 years ago there were probably 50K more people processing paper checks
Those jobs aren't coming back.

Remember how in the '90s there used to be those really fat issues of PC World, PC Magazine, and other computer magazines on the newstands. Those jobs aren't coming back either.

The world has changed.

13. Mail carriers, envelope and paper manufacturing, Newspapers, telephone orders,
phone book delivery, auto manufacturing, auto part vendors, stores, restaurant and bars, whole neighborhoods who thrived from the manufacturing plants.

That's for starters anyway. :(

10. another insightful question from Chisox08, "...where are the fucking jobs?"
"...if tax cuts for the wealthy creates jobs then where are the fucking jobs?"

....seriously, Mr/Ms politician, we need you to quickly answer the question, "...where are the fucking jobs?"....or you need to get your sorry ass out of public office....

....we're coming back here every night to see if you've answered question, "...where are the fucking jobs?"....bring your corporate sponsors along, maybe they can help you answer the question, "...where are the fucking jobs?"

11. Mostly the job hemoraging and loss has been a bipartsan effort
however, at least most Democrats care a little about workers and some, Raul Grijalva for example, actually care about workers first. Republicans don't give a damn for workers unless they write them check or can be duped into supporting them through the Tea Party.

Peace,
Tex Shelters
