A very sobering read. The middle class is disappearing.

51% of workers earn less than $30K per year. Staggering, and yet we continue to allow people entry into the country that are cheap, unskilled labor.

Cause those cheap unskilled labor jobs will really lift you up to the middle class. Lets eliminate Unions and oppose raising the minimum wage and give some tax breaks to the upper class and see if anything trickles down. Or you could just look at Kansas and Louisiana today to see how the GOP handles the economy.

Libs have so very little understanding of economics. If the supply of cheap labor exceeds the demand, wages will fall. Importing lots and lots of cheap labor helps businesses but hurts average American workers. LOL. Look at Illinois, New York, etc. to see how libs handle economies.

BTW, it looks to me like conservative states are doing much, much better than lib states.

You keep mentioning two states but ignore the other twenty? I wonder why that is.

Texas, Florida, and North Carolina say hello.

Reply #2. Minimum wage will impact very few workers, but cause the costs on certain items to dramatically increase. Not a good treatment there, doc. Unions keep too much to themselves, are political in nature, and really don't care about the worker trying to make ends meet. Only fiscal conservatives like COOP and the establishment Republicans want tax breaks for the rich.

How about we kill off the 30 hour maximum for exemption to Obamacare, stop the border bleeding and quit importing the cheapest labor ever(big business loves this, of course), and reform taxes/clean out DC bureaucracy instead? I don't like government workers watching porn(among other things) on my dime.

I think we have to give credit when credit is due.....as you correctly recently did in another forum. This job loss credit has to be given to the Clintons for their Chinese White House sleepovers.
