Employment at Will…what does it mean?

Plutocrats, I migrated to FL from MI…and while there are many things I enjoy and there are many more advantages in FL compared to Detroit (and need I go further)…the mindset of the electorate appears to be in the 18th Century. The idea of right to work and
‘at-will’ leaves all low and middle class (in my opinion) feeling that they have no voice or recourse. Coming from a union city and state this is very hard to take and I bring my union ideals with me.

My job is to empower others (low income with many family challenges)…working to educate people that they have a right to advocate for themselves and their family is difficult because this whole at-will has them conditioned that they have no voice.

I am tuned in constantly to the events and subsequent outcome in Wisconsin. It will defintely set the tone for the rest of the country leaving FL and states like FL further in the abyss.

Yaay Florida! 🙁

Stupid is as Stupid Polls

Foxi – At least WI can recall…we have no recourse in FL with this new whacky felon Rick Scott who is trying to do some of the same things. I believe because FL the southest of the south…when I ask most people how we can build a coalition to fight back…they look like they feel powerless and just say, “We’ll have to wait 4 years.”

This madness is all over the country and something should be done!

The Deficit of Truth About Obama’s Budget

Another issue is Cay Johnston, tax.com, blogger. He says that families making $6,000 pay 4% in taxes which went up after the December tax deals…This makes no sense at all. While he may be a very well informed tax guy… working with families in that tax bracket, I know that this is a falsehood, and wonder what his agenda could be to spread such lies. Those that make from $6000-$12000 don’t have 4% for taxes and may not pay any taxes at all once they receive child credits.

He says: Consider a single worker who makes $6,000. That was the average wage of the bottom third of workers in 2009, the Medicare tax database shows. Killing the Making Work Pay credit in favor of the payroll tax cut amounted to a tax increase of $252, or 4 percent of total income.

I know that the families that I work with do not pay that..so where is he getting this information. According to him, it’s a pdf file he has inserted on his tax.com website.

Perhaps it’s reality versus academics or it’s just all hyperbole. All of it!

Budget, Deficits, the Debt and the lies from the right

Thanks Abby for a great article, and thank you all for great posts. I’ve reinforced what I thought I knew and learned much about a subject I know little.

An HP Moderator Replies

Exactly. Perhaps HP is screening the left among us. 🙂

Hi smit! They sure have. I go on read the articles..read some of the responses…most not worth replying to and leave.

It is very interesting HP mentioned spamming…She wrote: “We define spamming as posting the same comment multiple times to the same or different article. Spammed comments are always removed.”

This does not always seem true.

Good for you Zooliberal. We certainly need our left leaning voices heard.

Everything from “Over There” belongs “Here!”

The low information poster is probably the hardest to take…so true
