It's certainly horrible and if not refurbished will, without a doubt, destroy this country. What needs to change is the puppet strings. They need cut. Too many people with WAY too much power from money. Deciding what minimum wage is with no concern of how difficult it is to live on, needs to be addressed. Upper management and above have become separated from lower management and below. Upper management doesn't really seem to care how 'hard' it is to live on something as ridiculous as 'minimum wage' as long as their money keeps coming in. And now, for the most part, that's not even happening anymore. At least no where near as much.
Now lets hear how twenty dollars an hour is too much to 'flip a burger'. Well no $#*!. However, the livable wage of $10 - $11 dollars an hour is not.
Until corporate hoarding stops, this will never happen.
It could be friend. But something needs to be done to further protect the American worker. Because at this point it's FOE.
Give corporations a choice-- they can have constitutional rights such as free speech rights if they agree to pay taxes on income earned in the US-- simple, no bs. Otherwise, no free speech rights (which includes contributions to political campaigns and issue driven groups), and no right against self-incrimination. But especially campaign contributions-- I'd rather see contribution laws be upheld (I disagree with the finding that it's protected speech), but as long as it's the law of the land, then they need to be held to the same standards as the rest of us. I'm tired of the notion that we have to bribe major corporations to build facilities in our towns. It's almost always is a bad deal for the community, but our cities keep doing it.
I voted "more bad than good". However, I think the same of government, especially at the Federal level where ordinary citizens can't easily find out what really goes on.
I will qualify my vote by saying "multinational corporations" - the politicians are all beholden to these as they give them a lot of $$.. thus the politicians do not vote the way their constituents want. That is evil and NOT in the spirit of what the United States was founded on certainly.
Corporate America is about making the most profit possible by any means possible.
That means squashing your potential competition no matter how small, buying off politicans to legalize your agenda, molding young minds into future consumers of your products through means devious and damaging to the person's best interest, saturating the world with your propaganda, be it TV, movies, radio, your home phone or front door,your mailbox, your internet, your kid's elemetary school, or through giant scenery trashing billboards. There was even a scheme a few years back to project advertisments on surface of the moon visible from earth!
...Leave no one free from your influence, alter their behavior to your advantage, control what they see and don't see, turn them from citizens to consumers, totally dependent on you for all of life's wants and needs.
Then, when you have your thralls in your control, you suck them dry and usurp their collective power, then rule the world as absolute master of the human race.

Giant Corporations are such nice folks....
So they should lose money so that those w/jobs have no jobs? And all this "saturating"...... It's called marketing, btw, and if you don't like it you don't have to "saturate" yourself in the product.
Some day people must think for themselves and not blame others for their own decisions.
But then again, we are just ruled by these "giant corps".
