History Lessons

Howard Zinn - People's HistoryThose who forget history are destined to relive it. Now more than ever that sentence hold true. Even worse, many have forgotten their history AND look on the past of the United States through a mythical lens and wish for a time that never existed. It takes someone like Howard Zinn to remind us of the blood, tears and heartache that cost to be in the present.

Here we will use the experience of revealed history to encourage us to move forward. We will often draw on the writing of Howard Zinn's "A People's History of the United States" to highlight the many parallels of our experiences of the last several hundred years and today.

Also check out Chris Hedges' books on the death of liberalism and the road to fascism at the library. Or better still support NJS and buy Books by Chris Hedgesfrom Amazon.

Minimum Wage

Workers in BMW's auto plants in Germany make twice as much as US workers in BMW plants who make $15 an hour. Oh and by the way German workers get 35 days of vacation AND decent healthcare.

And why does Germany's Manufacturers do so well?

Tax Cuts Will NOT Help The Unemployed

With corporations already awash in cash, tax cuts won’t get them to start hiring people. The Washington Post quotes Zachary Karabell, president of River Twice Research: "There's not a whole lot that you could do to entice companies to hire. You could cut taxes on them, but they're not going to hire just because they have the extra cash, because they already have the extra cash."
Advertising disclaimer of sorts: NoJobSurvivor has received unsolicited anti-jobless, pro-corporation, right-wing propaganda advertisements in the rotating Google ad feed. Sorry for these offensive eyesores. We don't like them and wish they would never show up. Feel free to tell us the URL so we can block it. Thanks.course
