I think we can all agree solid, permanent middle class jobs are a benefit to the country! I would at least hope for that much.
Well, I suppose, but they're supposed to be representing 'us' but don't seem to be able to progress toward a solution. So, I'd like to hear what those who are complaining the loudest would like their representatives to do! It's easy to complain. It's difficult to actually propose a solution or steps thereto.

How about this: Companies making record profits but not adding jobs are assessed a windfall profits tax that can be eliminated by growing x number of jobs proportional to their profits.

For starters.
