Re: McDonald's boss says he's "proud" of wages as thousands of workers call for a ris
I work currently under more regulation than any other industry...health care and education. I can only imagine what healthcare would look like without regulation...it would be scary at best. I try not to identify with red or blue or left vs right...because currently, I can barely tell the difference between the two parties. Both parties could care less about the middle class and have always ignored the needs of the middle class. I think the middle class is ignored because we are too busy working our asses off to notice anything coming at us...and we accept the scraps thrown at us. The left proved just how little they cared about the middle class when the ACA was passed. As usual, the poor was taken care of and the rich benefited while the middle class paid the tab...again. Small business owners, for the most part fall under the middle class and have been screwed for years..no matter who is in the WH. The playing field is much different for large corporations..

You definitely have a liberal mindset concerning this subject. Maybe you are more centrist when it comes to other subjects, time will tell. Welcome to the forum by the way.
First of all, I do not worship anyone, or anything, except the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. I never even alluded to being on the side of overpaid CEOs, so please cut the crap. Nor am I glorifying them. You seem to be ignoring the fact that government regs and high taxes contribute just as much to jobs moving overseas as supposed "greed". I'm not just talking about EPA regulations, I'm talking about all of the onerous regulations and tax code issues which make running a business, especially a small business, very difficult (or, impossible in many cases). Did the regulations prevent the oil spill you mentioned? No, but they may have hampered other businesses who wouldn't have shirked their maintenance obligations. That's the trouble with modern liberalism, rather than enforce the laws against the law breakers, it seeks to punish everyone. Except, of course, libs doing the exact same things they deride conservatives for. Modern liberalism is the epitome of hypocrisy.
If the left and government are soooo in favor of the "middle class", then why is it, the policies they craft always hurt the poor and middle class most?
Also, when did I ever say I was in favor of smog? :roll:
