Jobs, You Want Jobs?

Good comment Feed, I am 4th generation Trade-Unionist. My family went though times when heads were busted, blood was shed to get wages and rights for workers. My father got a “visit” by the FBI during the red scare in the 50’s. Why? because he was a Union Organizer. Scared the shit out of him!

Monk , you may be right, it did seem similar.

Monk, “is that you, AC?” 😆

Miss F, Still a bit ambiguous. I need some examples, not categories. Education?
We have school teachers buying paper for their classrooms, some on food stamps. And don’t get me started on Unions!

Of course I know everyone here is in the top 10% so the FTT will hurt you. LOL

“A 2009 analysis of data from the Survey of Consumer Finance shows that the mean holdings of financial assets by the wealthiest 10% of households is 45 times greater than the mean holdings of the bottom 75% of households”
Makes you feel as small as looking at those Hubble pics.

The Brits have now what they call the “stamp tax” on just stock transactions, not all financial trans actions. the y are taxed at a
0.2% rate. Seems the bankers are fight the same tax on all their “exotic” trades.

That is good to hear. It has made the house here, but so far just talk, very little talk.

Mo, How does Germany handle salaries and the year-end bonus system of their bankers?

Good link, Mo.

Mo, that is why I like the FTT (Financial Transaction Tax) in the above plan.

MissF, Question. What service jobs pay a livable middle class wages? What do you mean by “3rd rate manufacturing jobs?”

Just missed it. The banks do seem to be the largest bottle neck for small business. I read and heard many stories like your brothers’

Mo, I haven’t seen those numbers, they do not come out of the Dept. of Labor. Hmmm, have to do a search. There was discussion on that yesterday at the jobs summit, sounded like they were all in agreement on the need for more exports. Major problem.
Update: next report due Dec 10.

Pepe, I heard that story. They were all encouraging numbers.
Unemployment rate down hiring of both temps and fulltime jobs up. Longer work week. All positive, let’s hope.

That was Bain Capitiol’s MO. I don’t know how many companies they did that to. Worked for him and all his partners. While, the working class suffered. He’s a piece…..

Thanks j’avaz, Romney’s plan reads like the same old supply side econ. Reagan trickles on the people again.
The division between the haves/have nots is as vast as it was pre depression

I should have added that I have nothing to do with this organization.
