Absolutely true, but who is to blame?
As long as multinational corporations are allowed to shit all over America, this will not change.
Corporations who are allowed to hide all of their earnings offshore, while benefitting 100% from the lopsided tax laws that THEY THEMSELVES have paid our politicians to create, are not paying their fair share. They are not hiring American workers. They are not penalized in any way for outsourcing.
The job rut did not start under Obama, and he has actually done a decent job of reversing the dismal course W left us with. which didn't start with W either.
As long as Obama, the Republicans, and the Democrats in elected office, are allowed to prioritize the interests of billionaires, big oil, and big pharma, and war mongers OVER the interests of the American people, this is the world we live in.
Why don't any of the "news" reporters ask people like John Boehner why they are allowed to invest in all of the companies that stand to make a killing off of the Keystone Pipeline, while simultaneously spewing out lies about how it will benefit regular Americans?
When major "news" corporations take advertiser money from Big Oil, Gas, and Coal, can they really dole out UNBIASED information regarding alternative energy solutions?
I'm happy to debate and argue, but to debate and argue amongst ourselves only serves to deflect blame from the true leaders of the world, who give not a shit, about you and me.
