Can't speak for coby2, however, I also believe the Republican Party suffers because they do not address/pay attention to the various Social Issues that face our Nation.
1) The Homeless.
2) Veterans.
3) The Mentally Ill.
4) The Poor.
5) In Country Illegals.
6) Public Education System.
7) Health Care.
8) Abortion.
9) Church v. State.
10) Drug Legalization/Abuse.
(these are some of the issues that the Republican Party does not address in any viable way in my opinion.
coby2:
They don't care about abortian and drug legalization? Sounds like the right 'christian' party we have here. We have one that has all of this, but that one is very small, not much christians here yet.
I am speaking of the Party Bosses.......the Establishment Politicians in Washington, and their Big Money guys. Now, IF there exist a VIABLE Proposal from them concerning how to deal with these issue, please provide a link......I would LOVE to be wrong about them.
Nah, afterall I'm too busy researching conspiracy theories.....but truthfully TV bores me so I don't watch it maybe an hour for the whole week...and that's usually from 10 min a day of "so called" news on the TV which is usually bs in my opinion....

That's about as much of it as I watch except for my couple of series programs I enjoy. I avoid news like plague. Too much propaganda, especially here in the US.

Well we agree on something I loathe CNN they always have an agenda of pushing liberal values and always prop up Clinton...I call it the Clinton News Network even on states she's lost to Sanders they downplay the losses like she's some mega-politician that does not need those delegates its sickening to watch so I stick with RT but even they have socialist lean to their news and are always for Bernie....

Consistent. Friendly. I've disagreed with you twice(?), but you're invariably respectful when you do disagree. With me at least.
Option 2 had nothing to do with helping the economy. Option 1 and 2, if you note carefully, were put in place to protect employees. Because let's be honest, companies view their employees like a farmer views his cows. How much milk can they produce to line my pocket with green? And he doesn't care how hard they have to work, how much of their dreams or their family life they have to sacrifice to do it. Without someone to keep companies in check - whether that be unions or the government - we'd have repeats of our past (which I'd hoped we should have learned from by now) where the company sends a free turkey to a worker's family after the worker died in an accident or requires children to work 12-hour days. While it's good to labor for what you eat, humans are more than just companies' puppets. And many of them would like a happy balance between their work life dedicated to someone else's interests and their work life dedicated to the pursuit of their own hobbies and dreams.
But by all means, if you wish to work 2-3x as hard as us normal human beings in order to earn 2-3x as much, go for it. I just wouldn't advocate overtime to allow you to do so, because there are plenty of Americans out there who are seeking jobs like yours but can't find them because the companies already have "enough" employees to do the work (typically those that work so hard they hardly spend any time with their families, some of them having heart attacks from prolonged high blood pressure and dying).
And I noticed someone else said to tax overseas assets heavily. While this wouldn't work because the company would completely rebase itself overseas (i.e. become a foreign company - like Burger King when it became Canadian - instead of an overseas American one), they are on the right track. I would add that taxes on incoming foreign goods would be preferable while giving breaks to American companies. We need to offer them incentives for staying within the country, for staying American, and for hiring more employees.
Essentially what I'm saying is: companies are our friends. We need to help them, but we also need to be aware that they would abuse their workers at the drop of a hat if allowed, so we need to put some regulations in check to prevent this. One of these regulations should be on overtime. It doesn't have to be the example I gave, but if it encourages them to reduce the amount of workers who work overtime and hire on more employees to make up the remaining man-hours, then it would be a God-send.

Dear young adults in figurative diapers,
Being an adult can be a major drag. We have to get jobs. Pay bills. Pay taxes. Make our own appointments. Go to bed early so we can get up early and shuffle on to work the next morning so we can pay for all the stuff we need to continue working. Also the refrigerator doesn’t magically fill itself. Someone should tell Whirlpool about that. Have you noticed that in order for food to be prepared… you have to prepare it? Ridiculous. I’m calling my mom.
