where the money goes

One of my clients was layed off from her job today because the factory she worked in is moving to Thailand. She is a Hmong, as were many of her co-workers. The Hmong are a people our country exploited during the Vietnam War, under the promise they would be taken care of by US. And we do, I guess, to some extent, by letting them use our social services. For what it's worth.

It occurs to me that those who have a problem with paying taxes to support people in need should consider that those people wouldn't be in need if work was available. Like Mike said of Nike, this company undermines Americans' ability to pay their way, and burdens those who still can with paying their bills. So stop voting Republican.
