The average American would find as antithetical to the concept of Human liberty coming from a creator rather than a central Government. I think you can understand why the United States has employers like Wes Smith and others in this Country that try and provide a humane and decent job for their workers so they can pursue their happiness. Why we are at a distinct disadvantage is because we are a good and decent Country. When competing or trading with other nations that have no regard for the rights of their People except as pawns in the political game or to be used in a strategy to De industrialize the United States. This is a problem, and until we can re industrialize this Country we will continue to have job loss and separation of the classes.

New Deal policies took hold a few years later, and that's when unemployment got ridiculous. Of course, the conclusions of the chart are still valid, since the government is responding now much like it did during the New Deal. Same response, same results. Have a happy 5-10 years of misery.
