Unemployment Extension: Senate Democrats Introduce Yearlong Reauthorization Of Extended Jobless Aid


Partial Repost: I have been Blessed to have a career that supports my family with a livable wage & able to keep my job of over 10 years. But I've attempted to help SO many that have lost their jobs. America is in a bad economic state. Our income distributi­on used to be a nice hour glass shape with a healthy bunch at the top...a middle class & most others at the bottom. It's now like a tear drop. A concentrat­ed (1%) of wealth & greed at the top and everyone at the bottom. Bush's tax cuts took the middle class away. Most wealthy have their income in capital gains which is taxed lightly. They shelter their money & make those that have less foot the bill. Not to mention thanks to the greed...ma­ny jobs are outsourced to countries that charge less for production which cut the working class down to size as well. So unfair & unjust.



Then we have CEOs making 833 times that of a minimum wage worker. Do people not do their homework before making crazy accusation­s & realize the inequity in America? Is everyone's head in a hole about it? It took one hard-worki­ng, well-educa­ted person 19 months to land a job making less $20,000 less than what he was used to. He was willing to work McDonald's had nothing come up but even THEY won't hire my 17yr old daughter because they said older adults are overwhelmi­ng in numbers.
