None of Your Business

As I listen to the various talking heads, all I hear is business, business, business. What ever happened to people, people, people. As all the tax breaks and tax credits are given to businesses, what will the people get?

Sorry, you just get higher prices, lower wages and more worker rights.

There are presently representatives trying to lower the minimum wage in their state. Not only are you not able to collectively bargain, but now you'll also get a lower wage. Almost forgot; when public school is destroyed, you'll have to pay for private school.

How much money is too much? A great question that many of us will never have to wrestle with. When politicians talk about their state being "open for business", it's as if these companies and their executive officers are starving. The tax breaks and other compensations don't lead to more hiring or new job creation, it means more profit. #10, 20, 21 and 22 on the Forbes world billionaire list are all Walton's...as in Walmart.

When a gallon of gas hits $6 and a loaf of bread cost $5, who can afford it on $3/hour minimum wage? I'm all for profits and maximizing your worth. But, when everything is slanted on the side of the corporation, who will be able to buy their goods and services. You can only make so many cars and refine so much oil, before you're left with massive inventories and no one to buy it.

I listen to the Hannity's and Rick Scott's of the world and wait for the second shot that will be heard around the world. How much can people take? How many times can you punch and jab before there's retaliation? Egyptians weren't upset about government, they were upset about the price of food. We, America, slant every disagreement around the world and make it about democracy.
