Employment creates employment.
Republicans Love High Unemployment
Republicans just love high unemployment. High unemployment means lower wages and scared people.
How many times have Republicans been able to push their policies through by singing the "create jobs" myth? "Tax cuts create jobs" -- they don't. "Government spending kills jobs" -- look at the stimulus jobs chart above. And on it goes.
High unemployment means job fear. Corporate conservative types use job fear as a wedge to get what they want. "Accept a pay cut or we'll move your job to China." They also use it to get policies they want. "Give us a tax break or we'll move our company."
It Is Time To Demand Full Employment
It is time to demand that our government create full employment. We were able to fight back against Social Security cuts. We were able to fight back against tax cuts for the rich and their corporations. We were able to fight for gay marriage and LGBT rights. We are fighting them on climate. We are fighting for women's pay and health. It is time to demand full employment, too.
