Reply #55: Well, I wouldn't be shy about telling them to ..............

call it any fucking thing that they want as long as we get some GOOD DAMN JOBS OUT OF IT!

It's a pretty easy argument to make. Divide $2 TRILLION dollars of hoarded profit by the average annual salary or wages in a particular area (I'm too lazy to do it for Alabama) and tell folks how many jobs that would create. Then tell them that this accumulated profit has been the result of 30 years of breaks for the rich and NOTHING for the working person. We gave them all those breaks and NOW when we need them to step up, they're in the Cayman Islands shipping what's left of OUR jobs to Communist China.

Yeah, you'd still lose for a while (inertia you know), but eventually this message WOULD sink in. Southerners aren't really stupid. They just talk and change slow. But they'll remember their Granddaddies and Great Granddaddies talking about the same thing. Eventually.
