Yes, believe it. Collective interests, seem to benefit MORE collectively, than a few selfish wealthy CEO's giving a "pittance" salary to their employees and expecting everyone's first born child in return. Never mind how these wonderful "private sector" job creators , just seem to LOOVE creating jobs in ANYPLACE ELSE BUT THE USA.

Go to Walmart. I bet you it will take you almost 1 hour to locate a non food item made in the USA, by people paid a living wage. That is your father, my sister, and someone's brother going without a job, so that Walmart can sell a t shirt made from slave labor in china.

Now go to your mailbox the day after Christmas and pick up the mail. A great service (USPS), paid for and subsidized by the US government, that employs its people with LIVING wages.

hmm. Yes we can.
