I never been one to think i was to good for any job, but when i was laid off last from my job as a diesel technician (and i didnt take any unemployment, i mowed yards, i worked on trucks at my home shop, any odd job i could find) But when i was looking for jobs, ones that came up that didnt involve being a diesel tech was almost a waste to me. I still had a couple tool bills i was paying on when i was laid off and say i had took a restaurant job, the money i would be making would be going towards paying tools and since im sure it would have been a significant pay cut i would have been paying most of my paycheck to tools i wasnt even using to make a living anymore. Having thousands and thousands of dollars of tools sitting around wasnt a good thought to me. Anyways i ended up getting called to work at another dealership but now they are having problems too and laid off a tech this morning and sent me home early.
I do not care how hard they try to take my guns they WILL NOT get them. I'm ready lets just have a revolution now and get too it!
Guns are a whole other story....gun control doesn't stop the illegal trade. That's idiotic.
They want our guns gone so we can't rise up and and fight back.
We only need a few more million people with the same sentiment. Then it will be on for sure. I'm sure a lot say this but will they actually follow through?

I''m not sure how your rates work there? Can anyone explain?
Tax rates here:
If we took someone making $60,000/yr as the example, the income tax rate in Manitoba Canada would be $10,150 in Federal Income tax and another $7046 provincial (state tax)
and then another $2356 in CPP (SSI) and then another $890 in Employment Insurance.
That's a total of $20,442 in taxes off your paycheque on a $60K salary, so roughly 34%.
How does that compare?
I agree.
I don't remember ever collecting unemployment, but then again, I went from McDonnell Douglas to McDonalds when the aerospace jobs vanished. I've worked since I was 15. Throwing papers, janitor, bouncer, etc, etc. I've never been out of work because I will take any job.
However, I was raised poor, and we ate government cheese, honey, oatmeal, peanut butter, powdered milk, etc. It was that or starve. Give people food, but after that, they should work.

Exactly. People now days are to good to work fast food. If you cant find a job in 6 months you have issues. Yes it might not be 40.00 an hour but there are many things to make it work. I see so many people around here that have it so rought but yet have a smart phone and cable. Way I see it is if your willing to work then you will do alright.
As an outsider I don't think it's fair that the blame be put on Obama for what he has had to do to fix the mess.
The real bandits are Wall Street and deregulation of the financial industry. They made billions playing casino games with your money and creating false values. Fact is, this goes back to the Reagan administration and got worse with Bush.
You can't have someone making $40K/year in a $300,000 mortgage that's back loaded, it doesn't work. More over, it's amazing how much people complain about taxes and government spending but certainly have no problem buying alcohol, cigarettes and gambling.
Fact is, life is what you make it. If you want a better life, work for it. I've lost plenty of friends because I'm in a higher income bracket, well, guess what, me and my wife work our asses off, she spent 6 years getting a post secondary education.
The same sort of thing is happening here, techs at the dealerships are twiddling their thumbs. What we've seen here is a decline in the quality of the technicians employed at dealerships because the really good guys will go on their own.
Most dealers here usually have 1-2 good, key techs and a bunch of stragglers/time card punchers.
That won't change, my generation is already lazy, the up and comers are getting worse. There's a sense of entitlement.
I agree with you on everything EXCEPT the unemployment comment Why should my unemployment get cut because a employer laid me off for a lack of work because the government has everything so f**cked up? Why should i only get benefits for 6 months while SOME on welfare get it for life???? Why should i have to get up every morning and go to work but then when im laid off i should worry about when my unemployment will end because there is no other jobs? I would rather have 10 times the amount of people on unemployment than on welfare!!!! Unemployed people work, thats how you get it!!!! Dont punish the working man because then that money you save probably goes into the welfare fund
