Blame Yourself ---- Workers Voting GOP Have Screwed Themselves Over Time
Workers who have remained either anti union or anti labor and voted GOP over time screwed themselves. By supporting the GOP who largely destroyed unions and supported policies that diminished or eliminated government oversight of labor abuses it allowed the business community establish practices that eroded and ended workers rights.
With right to work, union busting tactics and "work at will" policies employers pretty much own workers. The GOP has long worked at wage suppression and the facts and figures show it.
Under globalization the American workforce is facing forced parity with countries like China, Indonesia and India. And now the American work force has to accept the fact that they must compete with $1 a day. Even increases in productivity cannot match the foreign market.
Democrats who have tried to run on a progressive agenda that favors collective bargaining and worker rights have been usually beaten and have been forced to go to the right on work issues. Today run as a pro labor or pro union candidate favoring living wages, and decent benefit, voters run the other way when such candidates are painted a socialist or even communist.
Too many workers are too ignorant to understand that they are voting for the same people who wish to make them slaves.
