You holler "corporate fraud" when no corporations were even present. Nobody is gullible enough to believe your claim of testifying in Washington, SC. I stopped to give you a chance to defend your claims. You did not.

Ok, here take my hand....I'll take you step by step.
Mr. Wright says, Hey!, to the County, I have 6 building I'm gonna remodel, I'll provide training!
(Mr.Wright was developer, owned 3 Holiday Inns, 7 Burger Kings, 4 7-11's, He was Incorporated)
He would use the "welfare trash" to "gut" buildings. Then have his crew(s) come in to do the construction.
The County didn't like that and asked if I would testify, along with 3 others.
Since we didn't have cell phones, texting, or our Rep's web-site to fall back on we were forced to talk in person.
After a 3 hour drive, we met with our District Rep, and made our claim.
Think outside of your safe place! Don't be a dolt.

Not CETA. CETA is the Civilian Employment Training Act, a FEDERAL program for job training, in Federally run institutions, with trainers certified and employed by the FEDERAL government. What you're talking about, I don't know, but it has nothing to do with CETA. CETA gave institutional (not "on the job") training to welfare recipients while paying them a small hourly rate AND allowing them to continue receiving welfare. In effect, paying them to go to school. After graduation, they were in demand, as the government subsidized their wages to the employer. Only a small percentage accepted jobs, and only a small percentage of an already small percentage kept the jobs 60 days.
Why would you go to Washington, DC to testify at a COUNTY hearing?

That's what I was saying with the whole oppression vs slavery.
Oppression of the Irish was indeed horrible but they could leave and relocate whenever they wanted. Look for greener pasture so to say.
Their struggle is more comparable to Mexican immigrants.

Heard a good analogy on Reddit earlier about a regressive tax policy, like the one all of the republican candidates favor, except for Mike Huckabee I think who favors a tax on consumption which is even dumber..
Say a poor person and a rich person are buying pizza, the rich person can buy the biggest pizza they sell with all the toppings, the poor person can buy an individual sized pizza for himself with just pepperoni, now you put a 15% tax on each pizza, the rich person can absorb the tax, eat enough pizza to make him full and probably have more he can just throw away while the poor person absorbs the tax and might still be hungry when he's done
Regressive tax policy hurts the poor disproportionately

McJobless In Seattle? Just installed, yeah!
According to a Business Insider report last month, McDonald’s franchisees see the minimum wage issue as “a major threat to the survival of the operator community,” and are encouraging the company to put “every resource available” into reducing labor costs through technologies such as kiosks and automatic fry dispensers.
Liberals never learn.

Comprehensive Employment and Training Act, not Civil. I worked with them in the public sector as an employer and administrator for many years. Biggest waste of tax money you've ever seen.
Adult and school age jobs programs. We offered Federally sponsored (tax payer) hourly wages by helping low income school children land odd jobs usually around their school, 15 hrs./wk. I as a counselor (who took apps, screeened them, did job assessments and placements) met with these kids to help map out a way of life - an education or training when they left school. We also hired adults under Title I and VII. Full time jobs subsidized by CETA funds. The private sector was also encouraged to get involved and some did. There were many drawbacks, they knew the employees were not the cream of the crop plus they (the private sector) had to kick in 50% of the employee's salary so it wasn't very successful, very hard to work.
Pres. Carter later initiated a welfare reform program which I participated in which required employment within a certain period of time or federal salary funding would be cut off, 18 months from the time of employment. Welfare assistance (child care) continued until (mainly) single mothers could get back on their feet. Many did, most didn't. Reagan was voted in and axxed many of the programs including CETA. Another wasteful program gone.
If there were any funds left in the budget by the beginning of the 4th quarter the local prime sponsor (my boss) was encouraged to spend it all so that they could get more come next budget year - put on more kids/adults......it became a numbers game. We never returned surplus monies to the feds, we always found a way to piss it off. That was a condition of employment.
Years - 1974 - to around 1982

It's so much cheaper on the tax payer to pick up the underpaid workers Medicaid and food stamp allotment

The road to hell is ofttimes paved with good intentions.
In San Francisco, popular restaurants Source, Abbot’s Cellar and Luna Park all closed their doors in recent months, citing the $15 minimum wage as the ultimate cause. Across the Bay in Oakland, which hiked the minimum wage to $12.25 earlier this year, 10 Chinatown restaurants and grocery stores have shuttered because of the wage increase.

Didn't you know labor costs are meaningless and raising them to an arbitrary amount pulled out of liberals' asses, only take a sliver of the profits from the pockets of greedy business owners?
Liberals know this because their business profs that have never actually run successful businesses, told them as much.
