The Dems and the GOP wouldn’t dare raise the taxes of their corporate sponsors even a fraction of 1% to help out the long-term unemployed. Despite years of valuable working experience, and taking retraining in computer languages, trying to get a job at 61 is extremely difficult, especially when your first interview is with some 22-year old girl, with an Associates degree in Human Resource Management. You can tell when they’re hustling you out the door. I’ve spoken to people in their FORTIES who have encountered the same treatment. The problem is that the working class do not write big enough checks to campaign coffers.
