Did Steven Crowder Deserve it?

[Jack Rabbit]

28. I don't want to say yes, but Crowder did everything in his power to provole it

First, he represents FoxNews, which has been lying to the working class from its inception by telling their working class audience that their problems have nothing to do with the CEO, but with (starts with n and rhymes with triggers), latinos, especially illegal aliens, gays (somehow, their advancing equal rights has something to so with so many people being out of work), working women taking their jobs and then they slip in that it's really working people's fault because their wages are too high.

Working people ave figured something out about FoxNews since the market meltdown of 2008. O'Reilly, Hannity, Megan Kelly and Steven Crowder are corporate whores who lied to these people and manipulated them into voting for Reagan, voting for Bush the Frat Boy and supporting his stupid, imperialist wars. FoxNews is no friend of working Americans.

Second, Mr. Crowder, when interviewing the protesters, maintained a belligerent posture. "What's wrong with 'right to work'?" He practically shouted that question, in a tone that betrayed a feeling that any reasonable person, even a union member, should support the legislation passed by the Michigan legislature last week. What, don't these people want to work? Well, yes they do, Mr. Crowder, but what you don't seem to understand is that they expect to be paid for it. You and the rest of the market fundamentalist seem to miss that point. If your arguing that if employers had to pay their workers a wage they can live on that they wouldn't have a job at all because employers can't afford that, then you are arguing that the system doesn't work.

There was a time when workers were paid living wages for their labor. It might be worth reminding all the foolish market fundamentalist (I know, foolish market fundamentalist is a redundancy) that America's golden age was a time when the producers had an easier time joining labor unions. It might be good to remember that. Those who think capitalism is niftyneetokeeno might like to be reminded of a time when the system worked for more people than it does now. It wouldn't bother me to return to such an arrangement. However, be warned: the vision of the Koch brothers will not be tolerated. We will live in a world of democracy, with respect for human rights and where all people who work are compensated fairly. I don't think such a world is incompatible with free enterprise operating under common sense government regulations. If the right wing morons who listen to Rush Limbaugh and watch FoxNews continue to push their anti-democratic, plutocratic agenda and claim that liberty means nothing more than the freedom of the rich to oppress the rest of us, then it will be preferable to place the means of production in the hands of the people themselves with no further interference from rich people with a bloated sense of their value to the world.

Socialism is still better than a Koch brothers dictatorship fronted by puppets like Scott Walker or Rick Snyder or the poseurs at FoxNews. Let that be a further warning: we know who our enemies are, and they art not crooked politicians or right wing propagandists posing as journalists. Next time one of us strikes, pick a better target that a worthless FoxNews personality. Strike a corrupt Wall Street banker or a right wing industrialist instead.
