Under Bush's presidency, Corporate America slashed paychecks that took you years to earn. They have cancelled holidays, including Good Friday -- they are trying to cancel the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, it seems. They have cut sick pay, rewritten family leave laws, cancelled bathroom breaks. It is even beginning to affect civil service professions such as the police force, now requesting to cut their sick pay to only thirteen weeks. Also under Bush's presidency, they have turned reservation offices into assembly line call centers. The union had warned of this but no one listened. We trusted Bush that it would be better, but what happened? Are they doing this working against him or are they doing it for him? In addition to tracking devices on the phone, I would not be surprised if they started building toilets into the computer chairs so we could not even get up. You are now allowed no time in between calls. You cannot even powder your nose without being harassed. Every week there are new slave rules in all of Corporate America and the taking back of every benefit and increase you have earned in the last 25 years. What president sits in office being totally unaware of what is happening to millions of people throughout America? Not to mention the payday loan companies calling a late payment check fraud, using the criminal justice system to lock up working class people on these loans. And the presidential candidates only seem to care about cheap medicine, Social Security, and unemployment, with nobody checking what is happening in the interior of the jobs. There are more of us than there are of them under severe pressure in the workplace. Inside the workplace, the water is so murky it has become black. Have the new politicians no vision of what needs changing, and our freedoms are being taken away every day with not even a mention from them. There is a voice in the wilderness, John Edwards, who seems to care about the working class people, but even he is not fully aware of this problem, affecting every middle-class worker. Can you imagine what is happening to the lower level? They don't even get to eat lunch.
Perhaps you can enlighten him by sharing the same stuff from your stash that helped you uncover, "what is happening in the interior of the jobs".
