Bullshit.
Propaganda from the rich fucks who are pushing this. Here's a clue. They are pushing it for THEIR benefit not the working class.
Since 1980 when that senile old fuck Reagan was elected the upper 1% have steadily increased their percentage of the wealth of America while the middle-class has been getting it shoved up their ass.
And please, don't give me this "the rich create jobs" horseshit. These CEO get paid for eliminating jobs and shipping them overseas where some Bangladeshi peon will work for a buck a day.
Meanwhile, they give the middle class a lot of phony issues ( gay rights, abortion, flag-burning, immigration, prayer in schools, "SOCIALISM!!!", etc., etc) to get them fired up. What far too many never seem to realize is that the same politicians who give them lip service on those bullshit issues are owned by the same corporate power structure which has been fucking them over for 30 years.
"Yeah - things will be fine if we just get rid of all the fucking Mexicans! Oh, what? My job is being sent to India. Well....at least there aren't any Mexicans around. Thank goodness for the Republican Party."
