Try running a business when everything you do regarding employees is regulated by “health and safety” and “equal opportunity” rules. It’s ridiculous. Employment is supposed to be a sacred bond between the individual worker and the employer. The government should have no say.

I would be in favor of banning immigration for the next 20 years. But wage stagnation isn’t a problem. It’s just the market at work. We should let the marketplace set wages in an unimpeded manner. Americans these days expect too much. People who are worth more should get more and people who are worth less should get less.

Just stopping immigration alone would boost wages immediately.

LOL — Looking at your recent postings makes ME wonder...do you routinely “copy & paste” your voluminous comments from one thread to multiple other threads?

If the AFL-CIO is against it, that’s a good sign.

I agree. Most days we have more anti-Trump posts & every word Crooked Hillary utters than pro-Trump posts.

Trumka, your time has come...

... and gone. Now, go away... far, far away.

From a former business executive and
former union steward. I personally
have seen what the unions want... and
that is dues (money). That’s it. Period.

Dear Mr. Trumka,

Yeah! A poster should be made to retype all lengthy posts over and over again rather than using a time saving technique. Especially if the posts make sense and oppose the conventional wisdom of the majority.

This guy acts like all working people clean toilets. I work five days a week and I pay high NJ State and local taxes. I'm not sure how it will come out for me, but I support it whole-heartedly. It's not just about me, me, me. It's about reducing imbalances that keep our US companies' money offshore. It's about reducing imbalances that favor high tax (aka Democrat) States. It's about increasing incentives for all Americans (except tax leeches).

We live in CA and we Itemize.

Once the I’s are dotted and the T’s are crossed, we’ll see what the Bill relay does.

Susan Collins already got her $10,000 SALT Deduction put back in the Bill, so anyone droning on about how good or bad the Bill has no idea what the end product will look like once it gets through the House / Senate Committee negotiations.

As for me, I’ll worry about it on April 15, 2019 if I’m still breathing by then.
