First off, factor for age and you will see the "Class war" numbers as the manipulative garbage that they really are. People who are about to retire have built up massive wealth and have very high incomes while people who are starting out in their career have neither. Beyond that, there is a very strong correlation between stronger union influence in a region and higher unemployment. If you look at automobile manufacturers you can see the reason for this being that all three unionized American automobile manufacturers were slowly being pushed out of business by their non-unionized competition; and if it wasn't for government interference there would only be 1 American automobile manufacturer left. |
US Corporatism and endless profits. High educated families are the rich class and they own and control everything in America. The age thing is a myth. Rich kids can becomes CEOs at age 18 due to nepotism. My daddy runs big company, junior becomes CEO.
The poor people are left to work in factories as slaves and paid $3 per hour. No minimum wage in America. Corporations will pay workers low or no wages if they can get away with it. Lower wages = Higher corporate profits. Send all jobs to China where workers are paid $1 per hour = bigger profit margins.
The Republicans who are from rich families love to sell the hard work and God philosophy to keep people in line. Only rich people make it in America. Homeless or earning below the poverty line accounts for 20% of the whole US population = 50 million.
Unions protect workers that is proven fact and they ensure the workers have jobs. The union workers are better off and there are more jobs. Weak Unions in the US. Workers have little or no rights. American Corporations exploit workers: low wages = higher profits. Foreign workers are brought in paid lower wages and take away local workers jobs.
