Good point, Don but as you know the ever incresing situation is lettin' go, or better said, being let go and landing a job that pays half as much as the last one...

I'm surprised that this discussion hasn't come around to Boss Hog's newest idea on how to hrod more of the wealth and that is the "two tiered" labor settlements with the oldwer workers agreeing to conracts that basicly offer them nuthin' other than not going backwards with newer folks being hired having to accept much less in the way of pay and benefits... This is what came out of the California hotel workers strike...

Strike???

Waht a joke...

Boss Hog has broken the back of the labor movement in the US and labor no longer has any leverage... All that we can hope for is to get an administartion that isn't ***goon oriented***... Goons, BTW, are defined in Webster as "strike breakers"... The current administration is so ***goon oriented*** that it is downright scarey...

Like I said, I hope that Amercia will realize increasing poverty rates is not in ther best interest of the future of our country...

I know that Boss Hog wikll pull every stupid PR act to get Redneck America to side with him, you know, labeling folks who have the moral conviction to stand up for the American worker as "liberals" and "intellectuals", as per usual but...

...these terms are a tad thread bare these days and just don't get the mileage they once got...

But think about this....

You know that a party in power has to be purdy friggin' hard up when it has to use "intellectual" as some kinda whippin' boy... What is the converse???

Well, I'll tell ya what it is: dumb ass!!!

So the choice may one day be reframed as "Do you want a smart guy running the country or a dumb ass???"

See how the shelf life is quickly evapolarting on Boss Hog attacking folks because they happen to be eductated???

And, yeah, this is about poverty 'cause part of getting back to rededicatin' our nation's "war on poverty" is to see thru the PR crapola that Boss Hog has used to stall it...
