Reply #34: Done to help out the corporations not the workers

[NoAmericanTaliban]

This is not done to help out the workers but the for the have-mores to fulfill the contracts. They are having a hard time finding workers at the low wages that are being offered. Even illegals aren't applying. This was a bonehead move to begin with. I saw a CNN report a few weeks ago when they were interviewing transplants living in Texas. They were happily employed there doing construction work for more money that they had been making. When asked if they will go back to N.O - the answer was no. When asked why - we make more money here. I knew then that they would eventually have to bring back the Bacon act, but I didn't think it would happen this quick. Of course they will spin this as an act conservative compassion. What baloney!!

I bet that in a few weeks * will get more tax payers money in the hands of the corp. in order for them to make up the profits they are losing by having to increase wages. They will spin it as money to assist the Katrina victims. Don't fall for it.
