I'm saying that when adults with families are making less than $10 an hour, they end up not working and surviving off federal and other freebies. They become a drain on local economies and the safety of communities. What's painfully obvious if you drive through cities is those testaments to former economic viability....those abandoned factories used to be places where people went to work in order to support themselves and their families.

I'm not buying the cheap labor arguments anymore. Globalist/corporatists still aren't on board with closing our southern border and sending home invaders (and unnecessary now legal foreign labor). That's unfair competition for jobs, keeping wages and opportunities challenged.

OK, now remove the “freebies” from the equation - what happens?

Choose not to “have a family”?
Choose to become worth more in the labor force?
Turn to crime? (This is what the left always threatens us with)

I say the majority would choose 1 and then 2, and those who choose 3 should be subject to just punishment.

That would solve your problem real quicklike.

The Eco-Fools and the Democrats have worked overtime to drive factories OUT of the USA.

Now,most of your tires are made in China. When Obama came into office, one his first items was to slap another 25% duty on Chinese tires!!!

Those factories were perfectly happy to stay here, but Unions did their best to drive them out.

They succeeded. Now they are bitching!!
