U.S. Workers Under Attack

Month after month, we report a seemingly endless stream of dismal economic figures. And month after month, things just keep getting worse for U.S. workers. What is most important to remember is that behind these numbers are millions of American working families who can hardly stay afloat, let alone get ahead. Behind these numbers are millions of Americans who are beginning to ask themselves a very important question: is the instability of capitalism really the only alternative?

1. They pay Commuter Airline Pilots $8 an hour......
...work them to death.. and then act SURPRISED when a plane crashes.

Airline passengers have to ask, "Did I get a discount on my Commuter Airline Ticket because they pay their pilots less?"

In the housing industry, people should ask.. "Did I get a break on my new home price because the builder used Mexican Labor?"

OK.. one more. Did any American get a Discount on their drywall or pet food or get better quality because the product was made in China?

Does anyone see a patern here?
