Yesterday, one of our plant wing-nuts was trying to make jokes about the situation in Wisconsin. No one was laughing*. I think people are slowly beginning to see the dark side of the much ballyhooed "conservative revolution" and begun to realize that the enemy is US.

An old man once told me; "You might get away with beating a dog for a while. But eventually, he's gonna turn on you." The last time the mighty capitalists tried to beat the working man down it led to decades of strikes, riots and all manner of unpleasantness.

Recent events just go to show that some people are so damn thick-skulled that they never learn. I guess they want to go through it all again?

(*Our plant is non-union. Back in January we were called into an all hands meeting and reminded of the sour economy. This, of course, was to prime us for the fleecing of our annual performance bonuses and COLA increases---indefinitely.)

What everyone seems to forget here is the ratio of executive salary to average salary within the corporation, that ratio is flat out obscene. Executive salary is not decided by job performance but by just how many arses you have kissed on the board of directors.

Example, the bonuses collected by the very people who drove the economy int the ditch.

The hypocrisy show by the right wing people who natter on about productivity and eficiency while spending many hours on the golf course is laughable.

If anyone here can show me a man or woman worthy of more than $800,000 per year (and I am being deliberatly generous) I would really like to know who that person is, and what it is/was that they accomplished that was so bloody mahvelous

It turns out that the evil greedy capitalists created workers paradise while the workers paradise literally enslaved them.

The US was one place where a guy could get something for himself. This was true long before the rise of the Federal government.

Oh right, in Confederate times there was no Federal Government, we had bodily slavery in the south, economic slavery in the north's mill towns. We had bond servants and a landed gentry - they were the only ones to vote.

We spent one Christmas in Williamsburg, VA, took all the guided tours, etc. At first we thought it was terrible where the slaves lived, poor housing, dirt floors, only the fireplace for heat. Then we saw the houses of the white farm workers - exactly the same.

Sometimes I think we should shut down Hollywood, they have romanticized our history until it is no longer recognizeable. Are you aware that if you failed to attend church service and were not flat on you back in bed with a fever when the beadle called around you could spend a few days in the stocks - summer or winter?

Sure you could pack up the family and go to the western frontier and claim forty acres that had been stolen from the native peoples. Build a sod hut and farm the land, a truly idyllic existence. Now the folks whose land you were camped on might get a little pissed off and kill you off, but hey you were on your way to the top.

Well, we are the owner of one very exceptional thing, we have done virtuous things (and unvirtuous ones too), and we are indeed generous.

And a man could make something for himself. Although the only folks who still believe it are foreigners now.
