Listen up. They're not your jobs! The jobs belong to the employers .. not to you! You have job skills and, presumably, a willingness to work. Your task in a free economy is to get out there and find some employer with a job who needs your skills ... and strike a deal.

Thanks for the ping.

I agree with Boortz on this account, btw. I know it's not a popular point of view, but that's the way our free market works. To say anything less is to say that someone, somewhere is "owed" a job.

This is incorrect and foolhardy in my opinion. It borderlines on union-speak.

However, Congress does set trade policy.. the President signs bill related to this. Then can affect the viability of a particular skill set, product or process with the stroke of a pen.

In this realm, people have a perfect right to be angry, and vote any damn way they please. Because, just as in our free market example above, no one in elected office is "owed" a vote, either.

The problem with super-capitalists is that they refuse to see the symbiotic relationship between the employer and employee. They think the employer is more important by an order of magnitude than the employee.
