The tie debate is just one example of how the world is changing and it's effect on many.
Huge numbers of jobs have gone to countries where it's cheaper to produce them. This has given a few a lot of profit and many lose their jobs.
So what's the solution?
Tax those who have jobs and those who make a lot of money so they can make sure those who have lost out, can still have a job. Yet a job that contributes to the good of the country they live in.
Cut taxes, borrow money to make up the difference. to make sure there are still jobs for those who lost out.
Cut taxes, don't borrow, let those who lost out rot and lose a huge swathe of buying Americans?
We were all brought up on the ethic of fending for ourselves, making our own way in life and not relying on others. More so for me than for many here. This ethic comes from a time when there were jobs to be had, today the world has changed.
Yes there are some jobs to be had, but if an employer will pay an illegal immigrant so little it's better for a person to stay on welfare. Why should he go to work? The solution to this is simple.
Yes there are people who abuse the system, like business men abuse the system. Do you make 98% suffer because of the 2% of abusers? The solution to this is simple.
Sandy hit the East Coast and devastated it, no one is saying they shouldn't get Government Funding. A bigger storm has hit the West, the storm of cheap imports and lost jobs. Should we ignore the victims, so a few can be a little bit better off?
