2. The repukes hate the american worker. If there was a way to export us all
Edited on Fri Aug-12-05 08:58 AM by bushisanidiot
in order to import slave labor from mexico and third world countries (without having to hide it), they'd do it in a heart-beat!

3. They don't have to export us all.
Just send our jobs overseas a few at a time until we're all working at Wal-Mart.

4. And open the borders to illegal aliens who will work for pennies
getting paid 'under the table' so the rich repub owners can keep a dollar for themselves.

10. I would assume that not many work for large corporations
as they have to file I-9s for thier employees.

Most illegal aliens probably work as maids, gardeners & that type of thing for rich people. Perhaps also for small businesses that do not want to pay the outrageous minimum wage we have in this country (:sarcasm:) & also to avoid matching SS taxes.

7. Great pre-Labor Day message

And WTF is right with MO?

8. If you're not a member of a union, please join Working America.org
http://www.workingamerica.org/home.cfm

If the AFL-CIO is not your cup of tea, join the SEIU/Change to Win's Purple Ocean.org

http://www.purpleocean.org/front

If you can unionize, do it. Unions aren't perfect, but, as Mark Twain said, they are the working-man’s only present hope of standing up like a man against money and the power of it.
