It is a historical fact, that businesses in America have ALWAYS gone for the bottom dollar,and yes,thrown out people,brought others in,and paid them less. And in those days,there were NO government programs,none at all,to act as safety nets.

Look at the history of the railroads,for example. The types of people who were engaged to lay track were replaced time and time again by different groups,the last being the Chinese.

In regards to manufacturing jobs and coal mining,as each new immigrant flood came in,the older groups were displaced,shoved out,and replaced by new workers,for less.

Large department stores were also notorious for displacements as well; not to mention the fact the owners and upper managements' pay was so much higher than those who worked for them,that you would be amazed!

Have you never heard of the HAYMARKET RIOT?

In Washington and Jeffersons' time,the Industrial Revolution had not come to these shores,but slavery was well entrenched.And it would really help you,if you knew at least a little history!

I wouldn't have been hung at all;that's just what you wish you could do to me. You want to silence those who can easily refute you.

If someone doesn't have a job,but refuses to do anything about getting,demanding that a job come to him/her and/or that the government should demand businesses to provide a job with a good salary and great benefits...that's SOCIALISM/COMMUNISM and most unAmerican!

There ARE IT jobs out there.Those who don't have one and want one,but refuse to do something about getting one,have only themselves to blame. The same holds true of any other kind of job.

Within the market, yep. You're absolutely right. It isn't until recently that they've stood on other shores while undercutting their own countrie's workers competing against them and subverting them with overseas labor using dumping both in goods price and in wage price across the board.

What is happening now is treason. You might want to polish up on what treason is by definition beyond what I've posted here and maybe even get a historical perspective. It is not limited to acts of overt warfare or spying. You might compare it with sedition. But, I'd suggest many have gotten so used to doing what they dangwell please without concern for their fellow Americans that such considerations as sedition and treason largely do not either ocurr or matter till it's a spy, then hang 'em high. Intent is immaterial.
