Have you stopped to ask yourself why any thinking American would oppose the American Jobs Bill? This could be the single greatest piece of progressive legislation since the creation of THE WPA during the great depression.
Think about it. If millions of new jobs are created by federal government projects the competition for labor is likely to increase. That competition for a labor force is likely to drive wages up. The prevailing wage means a better standard of living for the ordinary working class Joe and would eventually lead to the end of the argument about $15 per hour or a living wage.
What big employers have you seen or heard come out in support of the American Jobs Bill? It’s been earilly silent. That silence 🔕 is due to them understanding that competition for a labor force means that they have to pay people more. They have to actually pay them in a way that allows for them to provide for their basic needs.
Don’t be fooled. When they resist the American Jobs Bill what they are really doing is resisting making the playing field even. We can begin to chart a new course for this country with this bill. We can build a pathway to stability for the American economy that includes more than just the top 10%. This is about common sense and the people who want to label it as socialism never complain about programs targeted at putting your dollars into corporate pockets.
You pay the taxes, isn’t it about time that your money is spent on making your life better?
Think!!
