That marketplace.org piece explained how companies went down south to right to work states lured by tax breaks. But now instead of 100 full time employees they're hiring temps and part time to avoid having to pay benefits.Well if trump says he's going to make America great again I want to know specifics. My dad and mom both got pensions and good paying jobs with highschool educations. We paid $5 for emergency room visits. They were able to save for retirement. They got interest on their savings. They had job security.These people don't give a flying fuck about the rights of the little guy. Sorry, but they want the 19th century and it is ugly.
The rich would keep on fucking us over and do far worse to the poor then they're currently doing. Thank god for some protections and regulations. If you truly want loserterianism I feel sorry for you.
Seriously listen to that marketplace.org series the price of profits.
Although it's not you who needs to listen to it. This next generation needs to realize the Republicans are trying to sell them that workers are a cost that hurts shareholder profits. That's how Republicans see workers
Exactly, libertarianism and extreme conservatism is nothing more then taking away the workers rights to bargain and the protection the avg joe fought for throughout the 20th century. The new deal built our middle class and unions gave the workers the ability to bargain for a much larger percentage of the profit. This = the reason why your parents and grand-parents lived much easier lives. Much smaller wealth gap, cheaper products, more innovation and the little guy could get ahead.
The libertarians want to take that away and send us back to the farm life of the 19th century. There's very little great in what trump wants for America. In fact it is downright hard and evil.
They say unions ruined Detroit. Bullshit. Americans are foolish to think right to work is going to help the middle class
