This has been a public service announcement on behalf of myself and anyone else who is sick to effing death of the idiotic One Percenter "job creators" who think corporations are people my friend and they built that all by their little lonesome without any help from the moocher employees who don't deserve even the least shred of respect let alone a fair wage in exchange for work rendered.
Tomorrow I might feel differently but today I hope every single one of you 1%er jerks who feel that way get your comeupance times 1000 in this world and in the next.
Fuckers.

They came into the world naked and alone and that's the way they'll leave it and I can see no worse hell for those people who went through life trying to fill the empty space inside them with money even as they hated every other human being on the planet.

(15,882 posts)the thousands of those beheaded were the non-privileged class, the Sans-culottes and their leaders that started the revolution, right?
And the wealthy wound up in power after the Sans-culottes got rid of the tyrants.
Perhaps we should learn from history to be careful what we wish for, and be informed by current events that people who hold themselves out as your comrades may instead be backstabbing traitors.

(18,998 posts)The Russian revolution ended the same...whith Trotsky dead and Lenin and then Stalin in power.
And in our own revolution it was different and slower, but the elite would up in power again just as they are now.
The real revolution, the one that will last and bring peace to the world, must take place in the heart of mankind...which has yet to really catch on.

(37,573 posts)Lenin died on 21 Jan 1924.
So I would not say that the Russian Revolution ended with Trotsky dead and Lenin in power.
And our own revolution may have quickly put the elite "in power" but the masses often live pretty well in this country.
I like that though, revolution in the heart.
zeemike
(18,998 posts)But Trotsky was at odds with Lenin and was sent into exile a few years after his death, and then assassinated by Stalin in Mexico.
But it was not the Revolution that put the elite in power they just took it...just like they did in Russia, and in most revolutions...by hook and by crook...The revolutions are all based on moral principles and good intentions of liberty and justice, and they are soon corrupted by power and wealth.

Just try to stop before it becomes the Reign of Terror as the revolution turns in on itself.

Hardly rich. Seems like its actually the middle class who are the job creators in this country. The 1% are the outsourcers.
SunSeeker
(51,502 posts)The poor and middle class not only pay a higher percentage of their income in taxes than the rich (when local and sales taxes are taken into account), but it is they who provide the demand, because they spend every penny they make unlike the rich who sock it into Swiss accounts. This demand is what fuels small businesses who then create jobs.
Meanwhile, the poor work their asses off at Walmart for chump change, while creating massive wealth for the Walmart heirs, all while we subsidize Walmart by providing their workers with food stamps and Medicaid, because Walmart won't pay a living wage.
I think Romney had it exactly backwards. It is the bottom 90% who are the job creators, not the rich. The rich, for the most part, are sponges soaking up the wealth created by the working poor.

(6,679 posts)When a good hard worker, widowed and doing everything she can to keep 2 teen boys out of trouble and headed for college. She was well respected by coworkers and me, hrr immediate boss. She got fired for daring to ask for a 50 cent raise and I'm still so mad it's hard to stick to no violence. I needed to rant.
Thankfully the lives affected by similar job creators in this country are idiotic and meaningless enough to earn your kick.
Thankfully us bosses blanketed the locals until we found a job opening...she'll make a buck more an hour starting tomorrow. I quit over it ... just can't work for those fuckers.

(67,083 posts)violence. ... but I disagree with the status quo definition of terrorism. To me, there are many terrorists in this country like the Cock Brothers, not using physical violence, but IMO more devastating.
Initech
(100,027 posts)There's financial terrorism (Koch brothers), political terrorism (Ted Cruz), environmental terrorism (British Petroleum), and so on.

(37,573 posts)I am wondering what you have seen at work.
Have you seen:
1. employees who think they should be able to go home early and still get paid for a full day
2. employees who spend large parts of their work day sitting on their duffs instead of actually working
3. employees who spend large parts of the day standing around talking instead of actually working
4. employees who spend large parts of the day playing on their computers instead of actually working
Because I see that every day, and it kind of infuriates me.
