Anna Burger: Unions Owe Middle Class Americans a Level Playing Field

Most of America just does not get it when it comes to jobs: WE ARE NOT ON A LEVEL PLAYING FIELD, NOT NOW NOT IN 50 YEARS. How can we effectively compete against wages like 8$ a day for labor in India, 3$ a day in Mexico or $1 a day for slave labor in China? All the brains and efficiency will not level the playing field in terms of wages. That is why America must seriously consider and do what David Meiswinkle candidate for NJ gov. All these other half-A _ _ _ _ measures will not work.

DM recommends we change the laws and level the playing field so American workers have a chance to survive without our country exporting every available job.

If the Congressmen are not receptive to changing the federal trade policies, Meiswinkle made clear that he supports, initiative, referendum and recall; and he will move to implement it. Meiswinkle explained, “We will apply recall to Federal officials elected by New Jersey residents. If they do not change these trade policies to favor our States, and bring our jobs back home, they will be dismissed through a recall petition of the citizens and replaced by more patriotic representatives.” Meiswinkle stated, “The Congress is supposed to represent their constituents, New Jersey citizens, not special corporate interests or Wall Street banking interests”. “New Jersey citizens want and deserve jobs,”

I agree Calif. has the same problem as well as every other state that used to have a healthy manufacturing base but is now functioning as a "ghost town". We can NOT NOT NOTwait untill all of the middle class is living on the street and homeless. 20billion dollar deficit in Calif. will not go away until we bring the jobs back and start putting the America worker and middle class taxpayer first again in priority. No one can support government with TAXES OR CONSUMER OF PRODUCTS WITHOUT HAVING A JOB!

We have to get it done, quit playing games with the NEW WORLD ORDER AND THE WTO THEY WILL NEVER PUT AMERICA'S BEST INTEREST FIRST. We can not afford to be a 3rd world economy nor country., Recall, repeal all trade agreements take back our country now before it is too late

I want to point out it was not the unions that put our country on the UNLEVEL PALYING FIELD OF NAFTA, CAFTA and the WTO, it was the idiots in WashingtonDC who signed these trade treaties without voter approval!! If that is not an example of socialism or facism I do not know what is! And when ?the US government gave 700billion away to white collar criminals in banking, mortgage industries and wall street corporations is that not the worst example of socialism that will destroy this country ? They surely did not give it to the millions of unemployed homeless middle-class workers all across this country. If you are going to talk about a level playing field let's first get the guilty parties that started this whole economic mess before a court of the American people. 1 out of 7 workers are today in unions compared to 4 of 7 in 1970's. Do not blame unions.
