Over the last few months, there have been several threads about the loss of "blue collar", or "working class", or "middle class" jobs in America. A common thread of the left is to blame "Corporate America", "Wall Street", "Corporate greed", and "conservative economics" for the loss of these jobs. Several people, including myself, have proven time and time again the false logic behind those claims, yet nothing seems to get through to some people.
It always amazes me when people outright deny reality, and stop short of seeing the broader picture. They are right about one thing, POLITICS has effected jobs in America. But liberals of the left have it backwards. It's not conservative politics that hurt blue collar jobs, or working class jobs, it's liberal politics.
Read carefully this article, and ask yourself "who" occupies jobs in coal plants. Is it the rich? Is it the upper class? No, working class people occupy jobs in coal plants, not rich people. Middle class working people. Then ask yourself "who" is impacted, job wise, if that coal plant is shut down. Who loses their job? Does the rich man lose it? Or does the blue collar working man lose it?

Disquised as a plan to combat "climate change", liberals attack industries that PRIMARILY AND OVERWHELMINGLY employee middle class, blue collar families. They do the same thing within the manufacturing industry. The same thing within the oil and gas industry. The same thing within the farming industry. The same thing within the forestry industry.
Take those industries: manufacturing, mining, oil and gas, farming, forestry, ranching. Think of all the "working class" people that are effected because liberals are hell bent on SHUTTING THESE INDUSTRIES DOWN because of global warming.
Now, liberals will argue, "well, something has to be done". Ok, fine, let's say man made global warming really IS a real thing. Fine. But closing these industries down, or slowing them down through regulation and executive order HURTS JOBS NONETHELESS. This is what I mean about liberals not being able to have it both ways. You can't protect middle class, working class jobs, while attacking the industries they work in!
If that's not enough, Obama plans on doing this unilaterally, without the consent of Congress. Maybe this will open up some liberal eyes??? I doubt it.

All through executive order and the EPA regulatory powers. Isn't this what we've been telling you Obama's been doing for 4 years now? How many times has some conservative posted the amount of NEW regulations on businesses Obama has implemented? I'm convinced that liberals of today are full fledged SOCIALISTS. In rare moments, like when Maxine Waters said, "....this liberal will be all about, uh, socializing your companies, uhhhh, errrrr, I mean, basically, taking over and running your companies.", liberals expose who they really are.
We have a President that is nothing more than a rigid ideologue who is hell bent on doing what he wants, rather than what's best for the country. He's a community organizing bully who abuses executive power to promote and advance a progressive agenda. Nothing more.
So, the next time a liberal says that it's "conservative economics" that kills jobs, just remember who's out there claiming they are going to shut down and should shut down coal plants, which employ working class people......
