Maybe Some People Simply Deseve to be Poor!
Advertisements [?]
I'm not referring to people who are already poor. I'm talking about a large group of middle-class, dumb sons-of-bitches who support and vote for republicans---republicans who are nailing the lid shut on their middle-class lives daily. And yesterday I finally hit the wall in caring about these people!!

The breaking away of those several unions from the AFL-CIO for reasons including not wanting to support Dem candidates (which is an automatic support for the repubs one way or the other)convinced me that there really are people who are born to be peons. I now have no desire to support or fight for such people and hope the Dem party doesn't waste one breath or dollar on them. Since this was by vote of their membership, then I think it's safe to say that their membership has all along been voting Republican---talk about flushing your union dues down the crapper!! Perhaps, minimum wage is really way beyond the pay that such mental trash are worth.

Let them content themselves listening to Rush (and I'm sure they do)as a joyous corporate America, their bosses and the invested wealthy party at the news. Let them eat dirt and wonder why their lives keep sucking.
