Man: ...And then I got laid off from work, Dad, and our son can't find a job either. And him and his wife and kids, they moved in with us and then we thought hey wouldn't it be great if all our family could be together with you and Mom, Dad...

In the years before the French Revolution, the country was clearly divided into people with obscene amounts of wealth, and the many with next to nothing. And look what resulted! There’s no doubt that America’s jobs have been exported to Asia. Even Andy Grove (think Intel) is alarmed about it and urging the government to adopt a job retrieval program now. I’d like to think that if the Dems hold on through the mid-term elections they will come up with a real jobs program - but politicians of all stripes seem to define that as jobs for their relatives, contributors and mistresses. Nations have imploded for less.
