Reply #29: Moving from jobs to "McJobs" [View All]

[guitar man]

I have seen so many people in my area lose good paying professional/trade jobs and have to take "McJobs" to survive it is pathetic. Families losing 60% or morre of their income and their health insurance benefits.Working families getting food stamps and other assistance where they were self sufficient before.All so some execs can get 1500% pay raises and 25 million severance packages if they screw up and get fired.

In the aftermath,when the workers and their families wind up in sub living-wage,service sector "employment" and what is left of the middle class being taxed to make up the rest of what these so-called "jobs" should be paying,who really benefits?

The neocons love to shout down the idea of living wages with one breath and public assistance with the next. They will never admit it,but it is actually the big corporate fat cats who are benifitting the most.
