Given the fact that the sys/ government has allowed (and encouraed with tax incentives) millions of jobs to shipped elswhere to line the pockets of the rich at the expense of the working class, I charge that the sys/government is at least partly responsible for the jobless.

Eveyone can't be on top and our society can only function with the majority on the bottom of the economic scale.
Shure there are some who will take advantage of anything but, the vast majority who apply for it really need some sort public assistance.

Now we have a president who is a champion of the working class, a class that has been raped for far too long, is the very backbone of any society and he is called everthing from the "anti Christ to Hittler etc

This "I got mine so, screw you " attitude in not only unChristian but, it can detrimential to a society as a whole.

BTW, I am 62 yrs old an have worked steady since I was 13 yrs old not only beacuse I have a work ethic, but I have also been very lucky that I am still physically fit and was always able to find good paying a job.
Some are not so lucky.

How is the President a champion of the working class? Wealth redistribution does NOT help the working class. Guess what, confiscating more from businesses and the wealthy destroys jobs. The jobs the working class count on. And programs/entitlements only reduce drive and motivation to earn your own way. That will lead to an America that will no longer be a leader in prosperity, innovation, charity, freedom and liberty.

Health reform, upcoming Cap and Trade (God help us), and other government programs do NOT help the working class. These programs and huge new taxes will cripple the working class. Health care costs are now going to skyrocket as they have done in my state of Massachusetts (ever since we started this similar model they just passed for the rest of the country). We pay, by far, the most for health care in the country now. And there are now doctor shortages. Thing is, this health care bill is even far, far worse because it institutes huge government controls and penalties. Millions of jobs will be lost over the next decade just from health care "reform" alone. What do people really think happens when "rich" businesses get huge tax hikes? It's usually a combination of job layoffs and passing costs on to consumers.

Yeah, this will be great for the working class.
