I can think of quite a few guys who would dearly love to have their old factory jobs back at $15 to $18 an hour.
Guys with houses and kids who are doing handyman or maintenence work or
bagging groceries for near minimum wage.
Guys who were once middle class.
Honest hard working men who will not see things improve for them in any forseeable future.

How many of those factory jobs were eliminated because of excessive taxation and regulation? I suspect a large portion of them.
Try building a manufacturing facility of any kind and see how many regulatory hurdles, especialy environmental, you have to overcome before a single shovel breaks ground.

Thanks you speak the truth...but class warfare is alive and well in America..and the jealousy that goes with it. There are some that would rather see fellow citizen in poverty and send $$ to China so they can feel superior to the high school educated industrail worker making more than they do
jealousy
