No No, gugi is correct that was improper english.. The point still stands, there are many people in this country who are able to work yet refuse to do so.

Point 2 he is also correct. There are business men whose model is to make whatever widget they produce using any means possible to drive down costs.

Point 3 somewhat correct. Many machinists outside of the union struggle with negotiating their wages. This is the USA you are worth what you can get. I do know many who are underpaid. (IMO) Often the reasons for staying at the less than stellar company have to do with other life style choices. Is it really worth driving the extra 50 miles a day to move from 40k to 55k? Other than the pay they are content with their lives and tend to live accordingly.

Funny thing though, manufacturing creates wealth, banking does not.
