What about all the companies that do provide stability and well-paying jobs as a counter-balance?  Maybe it is people are a little resentful of all the public-sector unions that have been shamefully bribed by government with sweetheart deals the regular taxpayer has to foot the bill with income tax, high electricity rates, new carbon taxes and all  the other taxes? And maybe the deals government officials make with foreign countries in the name of globalization so the rich can buy products more cheaply?
