Stating the obvious?
---

When tax and income is structured to favor the wealthy and the middle gets less and less then there is no one left to purchase.
When blue collar jobs are reduced from union wages to Wal Mart wages then less money circulates.

A healthy blue collar means a healthy economy yet the fat cats and corporate whores on the media have convinced many to hate unions and blame the worker first.

Thank goodness that it appears that finally people are waking up to the fact that what they are being told to believe, over the air, by multi-millionaire news and talkshow hosts is, ultimately, coming from an anti-blue collar viewpoint. It is merely dressed up in buzzwords such as "liberal" and"socialism" to invoke fear and hate. They use religion, gays, and guns also as tools to further play into prejudices in order to "appear" to be on the side of "Joe Sixpack".

It's a scam.

1. Yep, except it's not obvious to some people.
I think we need three million people in DC. Not on Jan. 20, 2009, but next weekend.

2. Sadly we are living in the era of corporations that believe they don't need
Customers in order to do business, it reminds me of the Amway scam, where the goal is not to have customers you sell products to, you sell your product to other businesses who then set up other businesses to resale the goods you supply. So you end up with more businesses than customers, sooner or later this system will crash because without customers to buy products the well runs dry.

Look around the Big 3 are perfect examples of what happens when a business lays off worker's, who bought the companies products, Their customer base got smaller and smaller meaning less sales, then getting corporate welfare which allowed them to hire CEO's who were good at manipulating the system for more corporate welfare. The big 3 are now finding that they milked the system dry and with few customers and un-wanted products because the CEO's they hired weren't interested in making a product that was needed, they just went back to producing the same products they had been making 30 years ago.

Sadly, the big 3 did exactlly what they did in the early 70's, now they find themselves in the same boat trying to blame retiree's, health care, and wages for their costs, but the bottom line was they destroyed their customer base the auto worker without that base they have no profit from sells.

3. Nationwide Financing - Is working for me real well so far...
John Terry, New York

I've been working with some many lead vendors who supply me
the same crap over and over again.  I realized that most
clients of mine are leaving because of money situations. 
Nationwide Financing being the one in the middle helping the
applicant with a purchase, refinance or a Loan Modification
helps me write the policy faster.  I've decided to work with
mortgage companies from now on, because advertising cost me
way to much.  Given someone a referral fee after they bought a
home or got there life together, priceless.  

In any business I think you need a good sales man, to interest
the uninterested.  You must hustle the numbers and contacts
you get and not expect everything to fall on your lap. 
Someone being interested one minute could quickly change there
minds the next.  So far Nationwide has been providing me with
numbers and contacts of individuals who are in the process of
doing business with me.
