A Little history lesson for the educationally challenged. First union's killed off a bunch of the industry but the nail in the coffin was NAFTA. Now that is a fact whether you choose to recognize it or not. Now who gave us NAFTA? Close your eyes Casey cuz you don't want to see this. It was the former Democratic hero, Bill Clinton. I say former hero because obammy knocked him off that pedestal.

  I often wonder why, now that we have 15-20 million illegal Latinos why they can't bring the plants back and staff them with low paid foreigners. I jest of course. Those of us with connected brain cells know the answer..and if burger flippers and order takers are worth $15/hr, how much is someone with a skill like sewing worth? Is it $20,$30, hell why not make it $50. It makes as much sense as the ridiculous "living wage" of $15. Here's another lesson for you. The Dems don't give a crap if you make $15 or $50. The "living wage" is BS. There is one reason Dems are pushing this BS. That reason is unions. You see unions don't set wages at $xx per hour. Their contracts are all tied the the minimum wage. Unskilled workers like you find in the SEIU may have a contract that sets their wages 1.5 x the prevailing minimum wage but skilled workers like electricians, plumbers, iron workers, etc. May have a contract that requires 2.5 x minimum wage. Now hopefully you have enough education and/or intelligence to understand how that formula works. I repeat this here and anywhere else I can to try to let folks know what it is really about. It's about the unions and only the unions. They could care less about these idiotic SJW folks want need. They know that very few of them actually vote, but they are easily manipulated into doing the dirty work of dem politicians.

Now before you look into it and come back with how wrong I was about the multiplier, I made those numbers up because I don't have the time nor inclination to look it up for you. The real factor is probably more like 3 to 4 times minimum wage. I dare you prove me wrong tablet how they set the rates. Come on, you can do it! But when you learn the truth come back here and let everybody know.
