The market system in health care, in housing and transportation translates into a high cost of living. Entering the global market , our free market health care , housing and transportation is a hindrance not a help. And then there is the magnet of global manufacturing China where people pay less than $5 a week for rent and where there are no slums! The feast of private enterprise is leaving the U.S. jobless. Workers don't make too much they pay too much in their cost of living. Too many people want to get rich off industries which are essential in keeping us competitive globally.We think we can have our star backfield players making millions and our lineman making minimum wage.Can't win that way, can't compete.

The feast of private enterprise is leaving the U.S. jobless. Workers don’t make too much they pay too much in their cost of living. Too many people want to get rich off industries which are essential in keeping us competitive globally.We think we can have our star backfield players making millions and our lineman making minimum wage.Can’t win that way, can’t compete.
