Could never figure why most of the republicans I know vote that way. Especially the union members until one night when someone said that they might win the lottery and be rich and didn't want to pay taxes on it.

So from then on I looked at as thou some subconsciously think they will be one of the rich someday.

BTW it is class warfare a war on the poor and middle class. Take from the poor and give to the rich is the good old republican way.

Yep....then turn around and try to sell it to.....no one. 'Cuz even the ones who still have a job can't afford it. Then the dumbasses will commission The Heritage Foundation, that great bastion of conservative new-think, to figure out why. (Hmmmm........Let's see. When you make it so the sole determination of wage levels is entrusted to those who PAY THE WAGES......................)

The problem I see is that both parties have left the roots behind. Last good run of presidents I can see are Truman and Eisenhower. While not totally the same in their political views, both were honest, decent men who were true leaders. Both were men of integrity. You might not agree with all they dead, but at least you could respect them.

I wouldn't say that any of the last presidents compared favorably to them.

It says something for "Geve em Hell Harry" that Obama seems very intent on channeling him now. Now if some of the Republicans would try to channel Eisenhower . . . they would be called socialists.

We can only hope. I have my doubts.

I hear it all of the time. Guys who bitch, every time management shoves something down their throats that they don't like........Then, they turn around and ask for more, by voting for the very people that enable it. Why? "Because it's still better than being unemployed."

Let's see; Shave a little off here. Tell your employees you "had" to do it to "protect your jobs". Later on, shave some more off there. Tell your employees you "had" to do it to "protect your jobs". A little while later....................repeat process. I can't help but wonder what is in the pot at the end of this rainbow? I'm beginning to think it's a chamber pot, myself.

My favorite one is, "That was a smart move. They can save a lot of money that way." Dude, they're saving that money by keeping it out of YOUR wallet. What can't they fit those pieces together?

A teabagger on another site recenty told me, (Shouted at me is more like it.), that collective bargaining is "obsolete, there is no need for it any more.....we have laws to protect our workers....".

My reply; "Right. Like the laws that protect collective bargaining rights. Once you've killed those, what's next on your list?" He wouldn't answer me.

I see the game. And if it was all up to me, the answer would be---"Fuck you, it aint gonna fly."

Ah yes the Heritage Foundation formed by the Powell Memo and funded by the Koch brothers.
Louis Powell started the class war against the middle class.

It will be if the Chamberpot of Commerce has its way.

Comb I agree, I was tongue in cheek

OK you lefties - a local school district has had a levy fail 4 times, and a consultant says it'll be in state receivership in 3 years.

The teachers just got an average 9+% raise. What do you think is going to happen?
