We send our children and grandchildren to college to learn and train for life long careers. Sending them with our blessings to college with the hopes they will easily discover their interests and capabilities. Careers like engineering, science, medicine, law, finance, education, nursing, fire and safety professionals and many other vocations that might interest them. Then at the end, eagerly pursue their dreams. Finally finding work and settling into life’s challenging road to discovery and fulfillment.
However, there might be detours ahead. If either Mit Romney or Rick Perry have their way and are elected as President, your children’s career plans just might be changed. Both Rick and Mit would rather your children be oil field workers. Or build pipelines across America. Work in jobs that are enormously difficult and dangerous. Working at jobs your children had not trained for. Mit and Rick want temporary workers to handle the grunt work for the oil companies. “Just to as I say and we will do the thinking.”
Extremely physical work that is short lived. Lasting six months or a year. Work that has no health or retirement benefits. No good outcome. Just hold this pipe and hope your fingers aren’t cut off. Good luck.
If that doesn’t suit your college grad, then maybe burger flipping would be better. How about Jiffy Lube attendant? Or Walmart cashier? Waiter? Short order cook? What do you think?
Nonetheless, these unskilled jobs are what both Rick Perry and Mit Romney wish your children can take on. Worthless, meaningless positions for a highly trained college grad. Is this what you want for your children or grandchildren? Certainly not. So, whom are you going to vote for in 2012?
Rick Perry has failed to mention, the jobs he said he created in Texas were in fact low wage or minimum wage jobs. Low or no skill. Poverty wage jobs. Short term jobs with no benefits or a chance to promote to a better or higher position.
The American people are smarter than to fall for such smoke and mirror. Rick and Mit are just blustering blowhards wanting the job of President in order to force wages down. Wages forced down so oil and coal mining will be less costly. Cheap labor is all they want. Don’t give them this chance. Demand the best for your children.
Mit! Rick! Go suck a rock!
