It seems lately that the only people not screwed out of wages or benifits in the USA, are those working in defense or mercenary related job fields. My neibhor worked for ATK (lake city ammunition defense plant here in Missouri), back in the mid '90s, He made $24 an hr., after he left (weary of the lack of modern training, working with punch card computers) he made $20 an hr. After Katrina, Blackwater mercs were sent to "protect" the city making $90 an hr...sure that was totally neccessary and priority! I completely agree Fellini8.

That's truly a Party of Death. consider this new acronym for the GOP – the PHC Party
P — for Pamper the Ultra-Rich
H — for Hoodwink the Middle Classes
C — for Crucify the Poor

Personally, I prefer the Party of Death: a party that’s happily willing to have thousands of AMericans die yearly for lack of medical coverage, that finds there’s never any money for living wages and jobs programs, but also finds there’s always plenty of money for killing, weapons, and war. That’s truly a Party of Death.
