We lost our jobs due to Canada,Mexico, and China...going against the United States and outsourcing the manufacturing jobs.

When the campaign was buy american....it meant buy american. The reason was our jobs would have stayed home.

They paid the Mexicans who worked for the Canadian companies who bought the companies from the United States only $2.00 an hour and we lost our jobs due to them not wanting to continue to pay American workers $15-22 an hour back in 1985.

We went to war with Mexico over this...during Clintons administration.

The plans for our future is education...white collar jobs..so folks education is the answer..

Forget working at plants..look for our society to have educated jobs..not day labor jobs.

They forget we still have low IQ folks in our society. We still need cashiers, taco bell workers..ect.

The employers harrass us out of our jobs around $12 an hour. So dont quit..get management fired from now on.

Personally I am tired of companies complaining about not being able to find workers. Anybody with a functioning brain can see how ludicrous this is. Remember the mcdonalds hiring fair, something like 1 million applied and more then half were rejected. It was quoted that using the statistics people had a better chance at going to harvard. I don't want to hear excuses anymore.

These companies are so full of crap. It's just Corporate America trying to find more excuses to move jobs overseas so they can turn an even bigger profit, so their CEO can buy that sixth mansion in the Caymans he's been eying.

Sadly we'll all just take it. It's not a Democrat thing or a Republican thing. It's our own faults for letting capitalism get the better of us.

But you know... go shop at Walmart for better prices...

Harvard has a higher acceptance rate than McDonald's !!

One million people applied to Mc Donalds!!!

"Well, you know what? McDonald's ended up receiving approximately one million applications.
So how many of those people did McDonald's hire?

They hired about 62,000 people.

That means that somewhere around 938,000 eager job applicants were turned away.

Just think about that.

Only about 6.2 percent of those that applied for a job at McDonald's were accepted.

As Joe Weisenthal of Business Insider recently pointed out, that means that Harvard now has a higher acceptance rate than McDonald's does.
Harvard accepts about 7% of those that apply to go to school there.
Who ever thought we would see the day when a higher percentage of applicants get accepted into Harvard than get hired at McDonald's?"

So don't complain when the people that study and learn the difficult courses make more money than you do.

Clinton spoke about this last night. This is an important piece of the recovery puzzle. Why aren't we training these people? Romney wants more cuts to education? What is wrong with that picture?
It's simple, Obama has done all he can do to destabilize the private business sector. For four years now, no one knows what their tax rates will be one year from now, what new onerous EPA regulations will be created out of thin air, what employee medical insurance costs, regulations or mandates will be forced upon employers, from one month to the next.

Obama is the bull, and our economy, and our regulatory and tax structure are the china shop, and no one knows when that bull will charge thru and cause more destruction. So everyone is sitting on their hands, waiting for the day when that bull will be put back in his bull pen, in Illinois.

We have the highest corporate tax rates on the planet, thanks to our government, so don't blame businesses because they can't see a way to remain competitive unless they go elsewhere. Our government, under Democratic rule, is hostile to business, Obama has made this abundantly clear.

Our government is like a bunch of mobsters, every few months they walk down the street and toss bricks thru store windows, then they send in shake down crews to take protection monies from the owners. Then, when businesses start to leave the city, people like you blame business owners for leaving due to greed.
