Manufacturing Jobs vs. Bartender/Waiter Jobs


Our economy, since December 2007, has lost 1.4 million manufacturing workers. (You know those will paying jobs.) These have been replaced almost one to one, with new waiters and bartenders. Where have those manufacturing jobs gone? Of course, the answer is China. But, we have offset those high-paying jobs with low paying, part-time, bartenders and waiters. Yes, indeed, this is our new economic paradigm. We are in a “world of hurt” as a nation.

One solution is to implement the "Fair Tax." For those of you, that would like a primer on the Fair Tax, click here for a two-minute video. You just might be surprised at what you might learn.
