MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 07, 2020. LABOR DAY MUSINGS. CURSED IS THE GROUND WHERE THE MAN IS DENIED THE RETIREMENT INCOME BENEFITSÂ

In the United States, Labor activists, and Labor Unions made great progress to defend the rights of Working Class. Unfortunately, President Bill Clinton undermined this progress by approving legislation that took away the dignity of unskilled, hourly wage earners who legally work in the US paying the Federal, State, and the Local taxes apart from making contributions to Social Security and Medicare like any other US citizen who pays taxes. President Clinton on August 22, 1996, signed into law, Public Law 104-193, ‘The Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act’ (PRWORA) which places restrictions on the payments of monthly retirement income benefits to alien workers in the US under Title II of the Social Security Act. Refer to Section 401(b) (2) of PRWORA.

For many unskilled, hourly wage earners performing labor in the US, the American Workplace is defined as Work until Death for they have no Retirement option. The American Workplace of the alien worker who labors in America with no Retirement option derives its definition from the Book of Genesis, Chapter 3, verses 17 to 19.

I ask my readers to reflect upon the awful consequences of President Clinton’s actions on this Labor Day. Apart from the alien workers, the ground gets cursed with consequences to all its denizens. The Clinton Curse compels Americans to live and work paying off their foreign debt. This nation runs its government on money borrowed from other nations.
