Reply #19: You wish wish you had steel mills in Mississippi?

[doc03]

You do, you have the one I worked in. My company Severstal built a new mill in Columbus Mississippi a few years ago and next year they will double the capacity. They built the plant down there because Mississippi has a Right to Work Law. They moved the production from our plant to Mississippi because of lower labor costs and no pesky union. When they decide you people are making too much they will build a plant in China. That's the reason people are working in a concrete prefabrication plant for peanuts, people in the south don't want to pay union dues or won't fight to get one. That's why we
have a pension we fought and sometimes died to get pensions instead of taking wage increases we established a pension plan so we wouldn't have to eat cat food and live in poverty on SS. If you think someone that worked in a steel mill or coal mine should give up the SS we paid into you are to far to the loony left for me. I paid $135,000 into SS over my lifetime. My mother receives $1002 per month from SS and $125 per month from my dads pension so I suppose in your way of thinking that should be deducted from her SS.
