Trust me, it has nothing to do with NAFTA. It has nothing to do with Mexicans, China, India or anyone or anywhere else. It has everything to do with you. And your former cheap bosses. And the vile unions that represented you. Yes, you got greedy. You thought it was acceptable to drive a forklift and get paid $17.50/hour. You thought it was ok not to be productive and work hard. You thought it was fine to stand around doing nothing. If a supervisor said something you would whine to your union rep. And while you b.s.'d with your arrogant co-workers, your job moved elsewhere. They might make $.35 a day overseas, but they do a better job than you ever did. And they care. And you have nobody to blame but you. If I managed a business in Ohio and you screwed me with over-the-top wages and a lousy work ethic combined with laziness and arrogance, I would be on the first available flight to Beijing or Mexico City. And sorry, Barack or Hillary cannot save you. It's too late. But there are solutions. Can you say Starbucks, Burger King, Wal-Mart, Target, and Home Depot? And to those other arrogant over-paid union workers in Indiana, Illinois, New York and elsewhere - time is running out on you as well. Beware, look at where your "friends" are in Ohio.

Out of work in Ohio?
