Employers didn't take it out on their average workers because cutting their wages and laying them off was bad for the economy.

It worked then...it would've worked now.....crushing the 99% into the dirt isn't working.



I wonder, too, if these freaks who say this is a "christian" country also feel that those who lost their jobs are ALL dregs and deadbeats....that includes lots of "christians"...

Then start a company and do what you want. Or just sit and biitch, something the left has mastered.

Uh, perhaps they did? There are a plethora of unemployed graduates with business-related degrees who followed the herd and did what was expected of them, only to find there aren't any jobs for them, left with student loans to pay back.

Not as many as you think. Unemployment for grads is around 5%. Or in other words , the average rate during a good economy.

The right wingers on this thread make me sick.
And don't forget to throw their children and elderly parents in the boat with them....many of the unemployed are trying to support families....those entities that Repugs USED TO value

I'm sure many will learn how Repugs feel about average Americans at the polls!

Don't forget, they worship their ONLY god, The Wealthy, and hate the majority of Americans...vote accordingly!

Well, that settles it then! Everyone can go to work for IBM! Funny you should think that $18.75 isn't much money, when you and your compatriots think people should be willing to work for $7.50/hr.
Boom! Zing! Ya nailed it...

The Repub. party has been using these same arguments since the 1830's-40's. Back then the thought of trade unions and working man groups terrified the business owners. The tactic is to divide the haves from have nots with ideas which sound good but are not true.
I have seen in my community someone take over 1 year to find a job. The job pays less then he made before and he didnt just sit around. The con.statements are wrong and do not know what the real world is like. Its time to get out and talk to others.

Yes, that's a simple thing to do in a recession with no capital. For every problem, there is a simple solution that is wrong.
