This is how a US Senator looks upon a crook
Have you ever been to Arkansas? If you had, and traveled the back roads of Arkansas like I have…it would make you shake your head in wonder. I’ve seen many African-American Families riding to town in wagons…just like in The Old West. Except those wagons had car tires installed, instead of wooden spoked wheels. Let me explain.
Over fifty percent of The State of Arkansas is on one form of Government Welfare or another. When Bill Clinton took over as Governor of the state, Arkansas ranked 49th in per capita income. When he left Office and moved on to his Sexfest in The Oval Office…they still ranked 49th. Why? Because Bill Clinton invited Companies like Nucor Yamata Steel to come to Arkansas and build large Steel Plants. The starting wage was $5.75 per hour. Those poor hillbilly hicks were making steel for less than six bucks an hour…while in Pittsburgh, PA. the people earned about $37.00 an hour.
Not much has changed today. Arkansas still ranks 49th in per capita income…poor blacks still travel the back roads in wagons pulled by horses or mules. People still make steel for Nucor Yamata for wages that are shameful.
And this is how a US Senator looks upon an American Hero.
And what about Education? While Governor of Arkansas, Bill Clinton appointed Hillary to Chair the Arkansas Education Standards Committee. The State of Arkansas ranked like 48th in Education when The Clinton Crime Family, moved their Trailer Park to Washington.
Today, the statistics are very sad; one out of every four people you meet under 25 years of age in Arkansas do not have a High School Diploma. In Arkansas 427,449 people under 25 years of age do not have a HS Diploma. There are 1,731,200 people in this age group living in Arkansas. That is
24.69%…
Is this who you want as President of The United States? Arkansas trailer trash? It won’t matter. You can tell people all the statistics and it won’t change their mind.
One thing good though. Since The Clinton Crime Family left Arkansas, they have had a 19 percent decrease in women getting pregnant out of wedlock. Go figure…lol

The steelworkers at Nucor-Yamato Steel earn an average of $88,000 per year. Nucor-Yamato Steel decided to locate in Blytheville because of the work ethic of the American farmer. Blytheville also has excellent access to river, rail, and highway transportation.
Northeast Arkansas is a vibrant and growing area where companies are locating, not for low wages, but for the quality of the workforce, transportation infrastructure, and the quality of life created by citizens that care about one another.
I know that you are a person of integrity and would never intentionally write an untruth in your blog. Please write a new blog that clarifies your views about Senator Clinton without inaccurately maligning the citizens of Arkansas or the employees of Nucor-Yamato Steel.

In 1988, I hauled the first load of pebble lime into Nucor in Blytheville. And for the next 2 years I delivered there several times a week. Again from 1998 until 2000 my Company supplied the needs of Nucor and hauled the 1/2 inch pebble lime they needed.
You are a liar. In 1988, I felt so sorry for those workers, and I listened to them as they explained how they knew they were being taken advantage of…but could do nothing about it.
How did you come up with those figures? Did you taken everyones earnings, CEO’s, Supervisors and overpaid Executives and Sales People, combine that with all the Employee wages and then divide it? Because the guy working inside the plant does not make $88,000 per year.
You, your Arkansas Mafia and The Clinton Crime Family does not scare me asshole.
I can write any opinion I wish to express.
I was inside Nucor twice when the place blew up, and people were seriously injured.
Don’t TELL me anything to do. I’ll express any view I want. You must get paid alot of money to sit as a watchdog for Nucor Yamata, and make your threats and try to bully Americans.
You go straight to Hell, and you take all the cruel people at Nucor Yamata Headquarters with you.

If you can’t tell, your comment pissed me off. I try not to make many mistakes when I write, but I take threats very personal, and I can read between the lines of your comment.
If you don’t like my opinion, don’t read it.
Nucor located in Blytheville for the reason you stated…and the fact that Arkansas had so many people willing to work for very low wages.
Making steel is very dangerous work, and people are not paid $88,000 a year at the low end of your operation. Statistics can be and are often manipulated, such as you did. All those double wide trailers and trailer parks between Interstate 55 and the Nucor Plant, do not have people earning $88,000 a year living in them.
Amusing how you could not say anything about the fact that one in four people from Arkansas do not have a High School Diploma, or the ranking in per capita income. It was just the part about Nucor that got you? How much do they pay you to try to infringe on Americans Freedom of Speech?
Tell you what Keith Prevost, you write a blog and send it to my email and I’ll post it on here as a “guest opinion.”
You say whatever you like about me, my blog or anything else, I’ll post it. I’ve stated my opinion, and now I extend the offer to you…You want to set the record straight, write it and send it, I’ll post it.
What is the starting wage for someone in your plant at Nucor? Not a skilled worker, or CEO…just the poor sucker who works around all that molten steel. I’ll bet you won’t honestly say, because it would prove I’m right.

Apparently, your IQ tends to drop significantly as your anger increases. I have done some research on this subject and have found that you are not only ignorant of the facts, but an ignoramus as well.
Nucor-Yamato (with an “o”) Steel is a joint venture between Nucor Corporation and Yamato Kogyo of Japan. There is no Nucor-Yamato headquarters, there is only a mill. Nucor Corporation is located at Charlotte, North Carolina and not in Arkansas.
I, myself, live in the same town as the Nucor-Yamato and Nucor, Arkansas steel mills and I can tell you from first-hand experience that your statements about the earnings of the “poor sucker who works around all that molten steel” are as idiotic as you appear to be. Those people make more money working in those mills than can be made anywhere within a 300 mile radius.
Perhaps you should spend more time researching instead of just blathering fanatical stupidity.
Thanks
Oh, yes. . . Your blog reminded me of something I saw once. I think I will share it with you.

Bill – if that’s your real name – given your original note, Mr. Prevosts reply, your nonsensical ramblings on his reply, are you sure it’s the folks in Arkansas that are ignorant and backwards? Put down the mirror for a second and take a deep breath.

Thank You for your comment. Why don’t YOU ask what the starting pay is for someone who works labor inside the plant. Amusing how you were not offended by my main point about your Clinton Crime Family.
You hillbilly fools put alot of good people out of work in Pittaburgh that were making a very good living. Now go cash your welfare check like most people in Arkansas.

John…if that’s your real name…Have you ever been to Nucor? Have you ever been inside a steel plant when it blows up? I spent 4 (FOUR) years of my life going into that plant. I saw with my own eyes much more than you can imagine. Your comments don’t mean anything to me, as you sound like a man with no passion. Yes, I made some spelling errors when responding…because I have more passion than a moron like you could ever understand. The point of this post was about The Clinton Crime Family, and it just passed right over your pointed little head. Thank You for your comment, and have a wonderful welfare day.

Look here, did you pay any attention to my post at all? I said that I KNOW how much these guys are paid, and it’s not the pittance you say it is. These guys make well over $80,000 a year STARTING OFF! This DOES NOT count the management. This is the guy working on the floor doing the manual labor and running the machinery.
NOT TO MENTION, moron, that you have to have hills in order to be a hillbilly.
Perhaps the companies in Pittsburgh should have kept their heads out of the sand and they wouldn’t have been shut down. Those companies don’t have anyone to blame but themselves.

You are such a fool. The quote was an average of $88,000 a year. And you now say they start out making $80,000 a year working labor. And you call me a moron??? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Nucor Yamata destroyed the steel industry in this country with their cheap labor tactics. You don’t like what I write? Don’t read it. In America we ALL have freedom of speech.
And I spent 20 years of my life in Missouri, and was never offended when someone called me a hillbilly. Shouldn’t you be cashing a welfare check or something? You don’t like my opinion??? then kiss my ass…

then come tell me how wrong you were. This AP story says $50,000 to $60,000 a year. I stand by my original statement. Nucor took advantage of poor people in 1988 paying them $5.75 to $6.00 an hour…and it was wrong.
