Each argument has been offered in order to hide the real cause from the American people. It turns out that both arguments are supportive of America’s fascist agendas which go hand in hand with the economic mandates of globalization. Let’s take a look at each of these viewpoints.

I’m sick and tired of watching and listening to pundits who profess concern over the minimum wage. They all read from the same talking points…

The 2012 national elections are over. Conservatives are at a loss for words to describe the election results, while liberal progressives are giddy with joy.

It is mind-boggling to me that there are 13 million people looking for 3.2 million jobs according to Department of Labor. Because of such statistics, it is easy to get over-whelmed and not know where to start in a job search.
