Allentown
Billy Joel
[Verse 1]
Well, we’re living here in Allentown
And they’re closing all the factories down
Out in Bethlehem, they’re killing time
Filling out forms, standing in line
[Verse 2]
Well, our fathers fought the Second World War
Spent their weekends on the Jersey Shore
Met our mothers at the USO
Asked them to dance, danced with them slow
[Chorus]
And we’re living here in Allentown
But the restlessness was handed down
And it’s getting very hard to stay
[Verse 3]
Well, we’re waiting here in Allentown
For the Pennsylvania we never found
For the promises our teachers gave
If we worked hard, if we behaved
[Verse 4]
So the graduations hang on the wall
But they never really helped us at all
No they never taught us what was real
Iron and coke, chromium steel
[Chorus]
And we’re waiting here in Allentown
But they’ve taken all the coal from the ground
And the union people crawled away
[Bridge]
Every child had a pretty good shot
To get at least as far as their old man got
But something happened
On the way to that place
They threw an American flag in our face
[Chorus]
Well I’m living here in Allentown
And it’s hard to keep a good man down
But I won’t be getting up today
[Outro]
And it’s getting very hard to stay
And we’re living here in Allentown
More cheating will compensate. And the assistant Democrats are all too willing to let it happen.
Democrats don’t need the blue collars anymore.
This is exactly where the Democrats will settle refugees from Afghanistan, Haitians coming by the 10's of thousands across the border and illegals of all stripes from Mexico and Central America.
Now they will lose the suburbs too, as the local Karens defend their little darlings against CRT.
Mechanization makes for fewer onsite people needed. Where
failures occur that is where the problems will be.
from Mexico and Central America.
***********
Well at least Africa isn’t the major supplier any longer.
It’s not like the Free Traitor Party aka Republican Party is doing anything pro worker to get these voters....
It is amazing to me that “Blue collars” do vote for Republican on occasion despite the GOP’s clearly anti worker Cheap Labor globalist platform.
Just how does that affect a closed factory that has been off shored or sent to Mexico?? LOL. Freepers are silly people.
Along the same lines:

You go where it is the cheapest to make your product and can
get it to market. If it is in the USA you do it here. If overseas
you do it there.
The closed factory is being relocated because the USA isn’t
the cheapest to make the product and still get it to market.
The Republicans, some of whom are the Cheap Labor party, are also the party of “get out of your face” and the party of “less laws”. Most republicans just don’t want to run other peoples lives.
Every single Democrat in the USA is a little fascist deep in their grinch size hearts and LOVES to tell other people what to do.
Maybe people are finally getting an earful and eyeful of this truth.
“Democrats don’t need the blue collars anymore.”
Correct, they are importing their new poor and victim classes by the millions across our Southern border.
You know, to replace the Americans who will no longer vote for them....
Well a really high import tariff will thwart the globalist destructive Free Traitor global Labor arbitrage.
For the party of the worker. It seems a little odd to have no care for you know workers.
