Why do Republicans Hate the American Worker ?

[FreakinDJ]

They Off-Shore
They In-Source 3rd World Labor
They allow Corporations to Defraud Workers out of $Billions of Dollars
They spread Propaganda about Unions.

Haven't they stolen enough of our Hard Earned Wages yet !!!

1. They don't understand "work".

[FreakinDJ]

3. I see - Work can only be accomplished on "Wall St"

That "Tangible Paper Product" that is worth so much lately

Hey TurbineGuy - What kind of Turbines? I do the control systems

[Turbineguy]

10. Mostly steam, less turbochargers

and a little gas turbines.

I'm retired now (which is to say, I'm retired and work two jobs).

[FreakinDJ]

14. Sucks - the 2 jobs thing

I remember while working on the control system of a 10,000 Hp. Natural Gas Fired GE turbine they laid off the senior most mechanic just prior to completion of the testing - Then the damm thing failed on Bearing Over Temp

You guessed it - the guy they laid off was the only 1 who knew how to fix it.

Management making a profit once again

12. They believe in the Aucshwitz definition: "Arbeit macht frei"!

"Work makes us free!" to cry in our beer as our employers suck the life from us while getting rich in the process!

[Nickster]

2. If you still have some of your wages left,they want that too. They want a two class system, the exec

s and the worker bees working for as low a wage as possible. I'm sure they'd start up Company Towns again if they could so that we could all be real wage slaves. Grapes of Wrath is a wetdream for them.

4. Wages eat into profit, provision of benifits eats into profits, safe working conditions eat into ...

5. Why do Democrats hate the American Worker?

Reid could have made them stand up and start reading from the phonebook making a public spectacle of how disgusting they are. Instead, he rolled over as usual, and let the Republican minority have its way.

[FreakinDJ]

6. Eating your own ?

Send a email or better yet a letter to Reid demanding he get some backbone - but please quit providing fodder for Freepers

[Occulus]

20. Our sternly worded letters have as much effect on him as

HIS sternly worded letters have on THEM.

How about we figure out how to replace him instead?

7. They don't hate the worker they just hate having to pay them.

[gratuitous]

11. Ding, ding, ding, winner!

That's it right there. The last 30 years, with more people working harder and longer, has been absolute nirvana for the Republicans. Americans are working two or three jobs just to fall behind a little slower. Productivity is up, but wages have lagged behind the economy. The wealth created by all that labor has been increasingly funneled into a few lucky pockets, the middle class is sliding into the lower class, and getting out of poverty is tougher than ever.

Now that the engine that drives our economy has maxed out, the country has seized up.

19. They urinate themselves thinking of what they 'lost' when

feudalism and slavery ended.....The good ol bad ol days, when you could beat a slave to death for standing up for oneself.

9. The wealthy never went broke . . .

. . . by underestimating the value of more than several million useful idiots to spread their foot-shooting propaganda that merely amounts to one statement: "WE'RE not the problem, YOU are."

Wealthy people, by virtue of education or learned negotiation skills, are masters at framing. So well are they at it, they can sell their victims the rope to hang themselves with. It's because of this gift that "divide and conquer" works so well when it comes to the working/middle/poor classes.

Instead of our message that "we're all in the same boat" and "there's strength in numbers", all of us untermensch latch on to the Repuke's toxic banter. "Reagan Democrats" want to believe there is someone worse off than we are, and that we should feel vastly superior and lucky that we're not THEM. Whether it's minorities, immigrants or really destitute people, "just remember . . . you could be where THEY are".

Toss in a bit of Horatio Alger (making Joe Couchslob believe he'll be rich someday, and no one better tamper with his hypothetical success) and you have your average Republican voter: It's all about HATIN' someone or something, and that thing they hate is the problem to them.

[FreakinDJ]

13. Wow - I didn't expect such a well thought out / accurate responce

and My true feelings exactly

I never have understood the stupidity of prejudice enough to fully understand how some of these RightWing MoonBats could vote against their own best interest time and time again

[rrneck]

21. Who was it that said

"you can always hire one half of the poor to kill the other half"?

[NNN0LHI]

22. Recommending your post for its accuracy

[lib2DaBone]

15. Shuffling paper to the next dummest investor is not an "Honorable" profession.

Republican pure greed. They've killed the golden goose for good this time.

[Phred42]

16. Republicans hate democracy and anyone that loves democracy

They hate the Constitution, Civil Rights, people in general.

[treestar]

17. The bottom line

They want to make as much profit as they can, and keep it to themselves to the maximum extent possible.

They are greedy and/or in a game where having the most is proof of "winning" and they feel they must "win" over their fellow man.

[Sarah Ibarruri]

18. They're evil trash, that's why nt

[gollygee]

23. They don't want any money to trickle down. n/t
