Ending Corporate Welfare by Rep. Bernie Sanders, OpEdNews
In terms of the future of our economy, and the kind of jobs that will be available for our kids and grandchildren, a recent study showed that the new jobs being created in this country paid 21 percent less than the jobs that we are losing. Twenty years ago the largest employer in the United States was General Motors - a company that has a strong union and pays its workers good wages and good benefits. Today, the largest employer in the United States is Wal-Mart, vehemently anti-union, and a company that pays its employees poverty wages and minimal benefits. In a nutshell, that is what the 'new American economy' is all about and why the middle class in this country is collapsing.------------------------------------------- posted 9:06 AM :: reference link ::
