A look back at was used to matter in America.
There was a time when unions were as American as apple pie. That was before the GOP built a multi-million dollar smear campaign against them.
There was a time when “Made In The USA” meant something. You won’t hear any politicians talking about such things now. Nowadays, job loss is blamed on socialism and environmentalism as opposed to the billionaires that are shipping jobs overseas.
Check out this time capsule and reminisce on a time when “job creators” actually created jobs.
Filthy communists, and stinking hippies, the whole Christless lot of ya.

Hope things are tolerable in your neck o the woods, man..

Moosehammer..
Things change.. sometimes we do not like it, sometimes we do. Unions have their ups and downs.. but all in all unions are good for competition. I neither support or deny unions. They are what they are. I don’t think they have helperd the fair wage act tho.. as so often praised. The Minimum wage should be $15.00-$18.00 an hour. When is Government going to make that a law? The cost of living continues to increase, but wages continue to decrease? I blame All of Washington for this.
The reason Big Corp. is transferring over seas is due to the Onslaught of Regulations. In other Countries, they are more lenient on taxes and regulations. This is again American Governments Fault. And N.A.F.T.A. didn’t help matters with Corps. going overseas either.. passed by President William Jefferson Clinton, a Democrat.
Neither Party is innocent. It really isn’t the parties, it is the people who were voted in under those Party Headings.. Democrat & Republican..
Our incomes continue to move toward equalization with the rest of the world. So is it more economic principle, rather than political, that better paying manufacturing jobs have migrated to other countries?
Though often not acknowledged, good-for-business-and-jobs largely equals anti-environment. One of the great challenges of our time is to equalize our lifestyle with very serious environmental concerns, and there is very very little time left to do so. Jobs/business/lifestyle is short-sightedly winning out over environment.
I remember hearing those commercials when I was a kid. I don’t really remember them as an adult. I’m not pro or anti union, but they sure have done a lot for the American workers. That, I do support.

I get it. Let’s allow the corporations to destroy our environment, use up all the resources and then they will give us jobs at less than a living wage and tell us we are happy.
Here is a totally unrelated question, for anyone with enough f*cks to give for an answer: I cannot go to my profile, or dashboard.. when I do, all I get is a black screen. I was wondering have I been banhammered again in absentia, or am I not rowing with both oars in the water, or what. Anyone heard tell of anything like this before?

Your Federal Government Tax Rebate:
The federal government is sending each and everyone of us a $600 rebate. If we spend that money at Wal-Mart, the money will go to China . If we spend it on gasoline it will go to the Arabs. If we purchase a computer it will go to India . If we purchase fruit and vegetables it will go to Mexico , Honduras , and Guatemala . If we purchase a car it will go to Japan . If we purchase useless crap it will go to Taiwan …and none of it will help the American economy. The only way to keep that money here at home is to buy prostitutes, weed, beer, and tattoos, since these are the only products still produced in the USA .
Thank you for your help & please support the US.
And from Maddow…………….
The Tea-Republicans now have unlimited public election spending and want to kill the main source for Democrats. That’s the bottom line! Its hard not to think that some these tea party Republicans weren’t dropped on their heads…seriously…some of them are obviously convinced that cutting people’s pay and taking away their collective bargaining rights is somehow GOOD for them. We know what’s next, their jobs shipped over seas!
Wouldn’t it be awesome the backlash turns out to be a full blown movement right back at the Koch brothers…oh what thats happening….THE OWS, 99%! I believe these extreme conservatives that openly despise the middle class are awakening the sleeping giant…MAAWWAAHHAHHHAAA.
The only question left here is will people wake up, organize, and dissent, in numbers big enough to stop the corporations from taking over entirely. These are the new fascists and the GOP are their spawn! They’ve learned from their mistakes, and they are doing far better at taking over than the mid twentieth century fascists.
Later…….. :entertained:
