Mister, I have seen it happening in 15 counties of Tennessee. Real jobs at living wages are being destroyed by sending the work to nations that pay slave wages. Real income of Americans is headed down as unemployment rates go up.

At the same time, illegal immigrants are taking many of the jobs still left for Americans to do. Illegal Mexicans live 20 to a house and sleep on the floor and work for half or less than do Americans. The only way Americans can compete is to live 20 to a house and sleep on the floor.

Well Said NCLA. That's the reality in America today. The Middle Class is being squeezed from all sides, while our "so-called" elected officials in both parties jump through hoops for their corporate contributors. What was it that Vice President of Boeing said a few months ago--"The workers in America are not entitled to any kind of standard of living."

In a way he is absolutely right but at the same time Boeing is not "entitled" to ship their jobs overseas to save on labor costs and then EXPECT duty free imports for such actions either. It's a two way street. Unfortunately for now it is One Way Street and the American Worker is PAYING DEARLY FOR IT.
