Did anyone catch Mitt say, "you used to have a job that paid $22 a hour now it's $9 to that effect

[kimbutgar]

I have been reading Matt Taibbi's article in the Rolling Stone and almost had a brain aneurysm from screaming at the TV when he said that as this MFer Rmoney is the guy who is responsible for taking over good businesses (like KB Toys )borrowing money to finance the acquisition, taking the money and pocketing it and putting the company in massive debt, raiding the pension fund and then bankrupting the company. When the company went into bankruptcy he left the employees, creditors and banks holding the bag. While he stashed that money tax free in the Caymans and Switzerland. He is the one who is responsible for eliminating those good paying $22 a hour jobs. The guy is unbelievable and evil. He will do the same to this country. Selling our assets off to the highest bitter. Hey you like that Jefferson Memorial we'll sell it to you for $5Billion and rename it the Koch Memorial with the Koch Brothers statues taking out that socialist Jefferson?

After he said that, I turned off the TV and watched an old movie on TCM Cleopatra. It was bad for my health to continue watching his speech.

1. It was even worse, he said you used to have a job that paid 22 and now you have two that pay 9 each,

or something to that effect.

So people have 2 jobs that adding up together pay lesss....because of people like him.

2. What stupidity - 9+9=18 - Plus you lost your insurance and probably your home

3. He said, and I am paraphrasing,

You used to have a good job paying 22.50 an hour ($900/week),but you went out and got two $9/hour jobs.

******************
The two $9/hour jobs are still not $22.50, Mitwit. it's $4.50 LESS/hour.

One $9/hour job (assuming an 8 hour day, 5 days a week) pays $360 per week

And how many hours a day can you work a day? 16?
What would both $9 jobs pay you in an 80 hour week? $720
and you'd be $180 short of what you used to make .... about $774 per month short. (using a month as 4.3 weeks)
And you're working 80 hours a week. Nice life, there. ( )
Yeah, that's how the repubes run a country.
Keep the workers under control with 80 hour work weeks and paying them less than half what they used to make.

$774/ month is a huge loss for the average working guy! And then you want to repeal Obamacare too? Nice final touch.

This is not a world I want to see.

Mitwit earns about $384,615/month. He praises the thought that the working guy should go get the two $9/hour jobs.
