With over 10 million unemployed, the employer class reveals its inability to provide jobs. The government has intervened in the economy with spending programs, and is yet the employer of last resort. A form of trickle down to workers, and profits to employers. The Soviet Union , one of the most powerful political governments in modern history, could not solve economic problems with all its awesome state power. Jobs are the lifeblood of worker well-being.
Jobs affect our lives, our families, and especially our children.
The employers know how to take advantage of market conditions with wage and benefit cuts, layoffs, down-sizing, factory closings, moves to cheaper labor areas or abroad. They are not in business to provide jobs, and have no responsibilities to workers except under limited government decrees, like unemployment insurance or regulations. They cut and run to other areas for cheaper labor. They are not even necessarily American, for, in this system, anyone with sufficient capital, from any country, can become a member of the employer class. Almost half of the millions of people living in poverty are children.
