Put the blame where it belongs.

Politicians are placing blame for the anger of the protestors towards Wall Street on the backs of the middle class. They say they shouldn't be upset about the loss of employment and not having money with which to survive.

Yes folks, the reason you are unemployed is entirely your fault. It has been revealed by Herman Cain. We hear from the Republican state governors that they have jobs available. Well where are they? Many are not in the state or they are part time seasonal work.

My question is if you are making 300 dollars a week unemployment and have a family of four, just how are you going to pack your belongings and move to another state with the hope of securing a job .... especially when you are up against 200 plus people applying for the same job? Now, with many companies refusing to hire unemployed workers, what are they to do?

Whose side do the state legislators take when addressing the issue of hiring the unemployed? Certainly not the workers, but the businesses that donate to their coffers for re-election. This is discrimination, pure and simple. For the life of me I can’t understand the reasoning behind this move.

Having been in business myself, I would welcome unemployed workers if I were them. To base their rejection on a downturn of the market is unreasonable. About the only reason I can see for this is to create distrust and hatred for the sitting President. We seem to be seeing a lot of this from our legislators and mega national corporations.

Can their bias and desire for power really have gotten to the point that they would sacrifice the dreams and well being of other citizens for their greed? If that wasn’t the reason wouldn’t they be working to further the wishes of the people? Wouldn't they introduce legislation to open jobs instead of working with corporations that create more hazardous conditions in the workplace, or in the environment, that could cause harm to one’s family and living space?
In reality, if the minimum wage was cut in half where would people get funds with which to buy the products made by the corporations? Wouldn’t the profits drop simply from people not having the disposable income to purchase them?

Has the business world overlooked the cardinal rule of business “supply and demand”? The income many are banking on could dry up and disappear at any time. That secure job you have today could vanish tomorrow, as it has for many others.

Nothing is secure today. Corporations are confident they could withstand a crash of the market and retain their money. They have been preparing for it. They think they may feel a pinch, but the benefits would outweigh the temporary discomfort. They would then be able to return to a world begging them to take over ........ one that is willing to surrender everything for a tiny morsel from their table.
