American workers got what they deserved (Good Read)

[OhioChick]

Holland, MI —Are you an American employee? If so, today’s column will likely offend you. If you’d rather not be offended, read no further. If you continue and then complain, I’m sorry, but that simply proves you’re, well, stupid. But then again, stupidity plays a large role in today’s topic.

So you’re an American employee. Maybe you make car parts. Maybe you’re an engineer or designer. Maybe you’re an accountant, store clerk or tradesman. Whatever you do, you’re probably stupid or lazy. Yes, I wrote it, and I mean it. You are either stupid or lazy. Maybe both.

Now, I’m not referring to your work ethic or job performance. No, most of you are competent and devoted to your profession or vocation. I’m addressing the way you view economics and employment. I’m challenging your gumption to advocate for yourself and your fellow Americans. Here’s what I mean.

Remember the Reagan standard? Are you better off today than you were a decade ago? Two decades? Three? Unless you make more than $380,000 a year, the answer is no. In fact, your standard of living over the last quarter century has actually decreased while millionaires have added 30 percent to their net wealth. Why? Two reasons.

5. Two groups of teabaggers

1. those who actually in the employ of the Cock brothers and Dick Armey - paid provocateurs

2. Idiots/Fox News addicts. The expression "too stupid to live" could have been coined about them

We the proletariat could make some serious steps toward reclaiming democracy by inflicting some heavily casualties among Hate Radio.

6. That's it in a nutshell.

The only beef I have with the article is that they don't point out that repukes are the cause of this.
