Union busting became popular with the full force of the United States government under Ronald Reagan busting the Air Traffic Controllers Union into smithereens... That set off a series of bullshit union tactics that continue to this very day as part of the Republican ALEC package of union busting og cops, firemen, teachers, public works, etc...

That is the short history of the Republican Party's interests in union busting...

Now lets talk jobs... As part of the union busting efforts wages have stagnated since Reagan opened the door for union busting... After inflation the working class has been stuck at the same place for 30 years now... And with the 8,000,000 jobs lost under the Republican Bush 43 what that has done is make people desperate for anything... You have millions of people with college degrees having to take minimum wage jobs... Go to any Starbucks... Lousy wages and guess what??? Half the kids working there have degrees...

The "Charlotte Observer" did a piece on poverty last September and reported that 1/2 of American families live on $26,200 a year... With $22,400 being the poverty level for a family of four that means that about half of Americans are living at 125% of poverty OR LESS... Yet every time the minimum wage is brought up in Congress the Republicans shoot it down saying it will kill jobs??? Kill jobs??? 8,000,000 lost under Bush with the lowest minimum wage (after inflation) since the minimum wage was started almost a half a century ago...

Last Republican BIG LIE for now... "Elect us... Yeah, we know that we are proposing the same ideas that were in place when the economy collapsed but we think that it will work next time... Our donors say that if you elect us and we roll back taxed they will create more jobs... They promise... Trust us..."

Fuck!!! If they were going to create more jobs then why did they fire 8,000,000 last time when they had things the way they wanted... Why don't they create them now??? They are sitting on $2T in cash... What's giving them more of our cash gonna do???

Yup, what we have is a very greedy and corrupt Republican Party that makes the current batch of Dems look like Boy Scouts...
