I think the demand is not by you and me but the power structure. I also think its too easy to say we are all at fault. Ive been preaching this line for twenty years and Id give up plenty. Remember the bipartison bill in the eighties sponsored by Simpson and I forget the dem where they gave immigrants a free ride and said they would start to enforce the law? BS. They never have.
If we had even halfway better economic distribution of wealth those dirty jobs would pay enough and have benfits to draw the citezenry to them. The power structure isnt gking to give up what they fought over fifty years to get. The top tax rate was over 80 percent when Ike was president. The corporations and business also paid about 25-30 percent of the tax load then too. So the GDP has gone up astronomically since and yet the business tax load is down to 5-7 percent now by most estimates.
We have multiple problems on multiple fronts.
