These people should be ashamed to show their faces in public
Edited on Mon May-10-10 10:05 AM by CLANG

They don't seem to realize that:
1) Nobody wants to spread your wealth, you don't have any!
2) We want to spread the wealth that was STOLEN from us.
3) You would be a beneficiary, dumbass!
4) You are the reason we will continue to get poorer and poorer...

80. BOTTOM LEVEL MANAGERS fooled into thinking they are not just workers on the pyramid bottom too
IT HAS AND ALWAYS BEEN ABOUT CLASS WARFARE

THE WEALTHY.... FEW IN NUMBERS AND FINDING WAYS TO 'RELATE' TO A POPULATION AT THE BOTTOM, TO GET THE VOTES, TO BUY THE OPINION, THROUGH WARS (PATRIOTISM) AND SACRAFICE (FROM OTHERS)....

KEEP AN EYE ON THE WEDGE ISSUES..... GUNS..... ABORTION..... GAYS.....
WEALTHY PEOPLE COULDN'T GIVE A SHIT ON THIS ISSUES.... BUT THEY JUST LOVE A GOOD DIVIDER

3. If she had any wealth
She'd get her hair done by a decent hair stylist. I'm willing to bet I make more than she does.

It's pathetic the way so many middle class Republicans have been bamboozled into thinking they're wealthy.

9. Not middle class, working class
there is a difference. Working class means you make money off of your labor/ideas, and takes in a wide range of actual income levels. Middle class means you have a mortgage on what is probably your only home, get 3 weeks vacation per year, 1-2 of which you can afford to travel for (domestically), and buy a few new clothes once or twice per year. While there is some overlap, the opposite of working class is owning class. The opposite of middle class is upper or lower class.

That "what me worry" look ought to bring a few tasty comments as well. She is a dope and pretends to be smart and is willing to sell everybody else down the river by sheer stupidity. So I say, man the torpedoes and have at the jerk with all the ammunition at hand. She is a silly woman and a silly looking woman at that.

15. Wow, I wish my fiancee or me had time to stand around protesting things.
Unfortunately I work full time hours (while still only being "technically" part time-so no benefits) and she works two jobs to get 40 hours a week-both part time, so no benefits-so neither of us can stand around and smugly proclaim how hard working we are because-gasp-we actually ARE hard working.

Now I gotta go get ready for work. Closing shift and than I have to turn around and do an opening shift.

FoxBeckHannityCo LAUGH at you and your 10-years-ago hair. If you used that work ethic to do some reading, you'd kind of understand that the "wealth redistribution" canard is nothing but a canned talking point opened for "divide and conquer" purposes.

But hey, go back to working hard at your outdoor campsite there. Keep fighting the "war on ideas".

23. if work ethic is all it took, my husband and i would have plenty of wealth to spread
i've been putting in more hours than my boss and my husband took on a second job so that we can afford to move this summer because we can barely afford the place we're in now. i'm making about two-thirds of what i was in my 'old life' two years ago and it doesn't seem to matter how hard we work anymore, it still feels like we live hand-to-mouth.

Edited on Mon May-10-10 06:10 PM by Hannah Bell
uh, dumb-ass, we have 20% underemployment, who needs your fucking "work ethic"? there's no jobs, & what jobs there are are mostly in control functions -- i.e. the management of the working class in the interest of capital -- prisons, police, social workers, unemployment counselors, drug rehab counselors -- the whole useless, non-productive low-level police functions of capital.

who needs your fucking work ethic when it's employed to serve & expand the reign of capital?

about 20% of the world's population produces most of its goods. the rest of the peons mostly indoctrinate workers in the mindset of capital, manage money for capital, & police workers for capital.

fuck your "work ethic" you stupid cow.

52. My granddaughter is working 68 hours a week
at 2 part time jobs and does not have health care. MY Baby girl has more work ethic and balls than you, ya stoopid shit. Yes, I feel better.

The upside - she works her ass off and has been noticed. She's been 'groomed' for a management position at one of these jobs which will start in about a month. In the meantime she continues to work both jobs.

Sitting behind the wheel (in the supermarket parking lot) was a self-satisfied, 50-ish guy with his self-satisfied, 50-ish wife sitting beside him, and I just wanted to drive over to them and let them know what I thought about their stupid, smug bumpersticker, .... and I was trying to remember the post I read a while ago on DU that described " Day in the Life of Joe Republican" about a guy who thinks he's made it all on his own, but he really relies on government and the sweat of the little people all day long...

Then they drove off and it was too late.

65. Why should I be surprised.

The lady does have a point. I can't argue across all professions, but in mine Americans are naive in their approach, and falling behind in their conceptual production methods compared to the rest of the world. And people wonder why their job is being outsourced. it may not be because it is cheaper, but maybe because it is better.

64. And who's paying for the laptop and electrical hookup behind her?
Not "her wealth," I'd bet.

66. I think that exact thought every damn time I see a teabagger.
When did the average person in this country become so fucking stupid? I don't remember this country being filled with so many middle-class morons who fight for the rights and privileges of the privileged to continue to screw us all over. I'm sure they wouldn't help a burglar rob their house. Yet they continue to use their voice and vote to help corporations and Wall Street do the same thing to the entire country.

Another thing, where the hell do these people work that they can take off to plan and attend these little hate-filled and often psychotic little gatherings even in the middle of the week?

67. They either think they're wealthy or that one day they'll become as wealthy
as the top 2-5% who actually do own most of the wealth in this country. How do we get through to these idiots?

People just expropriate it and claim it's "theirs".

Being a Republican is roughly like being an Amway Soap Business. If you work long and hard enough, eventually you will build your business to the point where you become an exploit-er instead of an exploit-ee. I am pulling this "fact" out of my butt, but I highly doubt more than 1% of the Amway-ers get on top of their pyramid. The rest have thousands of dollars of unsold Amway products and family and friends that all dread being hit on again to buy more stuff from them.

The Republican party is like Amway in that it's entire mechanism is based on greed and very unrealistic hopes for the many that only end up serving the interests of the very few on the top.

"That's a good little corporate drone. Just don't go out and catch cancer. Then we'll have to cancel your insurance. It would eat into our profits."

"Thanks again for your continuous productivity increase, drone. It's nice to have yachts and homes on three coasts! Your extra effort and virtually giving up your life outside of work is greatly appreciated. Don't forget to send your $25 for this years Christmas party!"

"We let the rest of your department go. You may have to do more overtime for the next couple of years until we're profitable enough to hire people back."

frog in boiling water. We are all in the middle of reliving the work life of the gilded age of the 1890's. The Republican "good ole days". My whole work life started with the Reagan era. I lived through thirty years of this shit and finally got expelled for good. I don't think I have the disposition for corporate life? I like to think I got spit out because of my critical thinking abilities. It's more likely a result of corporate cultures growing incredibly mediocre empty suit middle managers. May the best self serving brown noser win!

73. Observe if you will the Dead Eyes on this woman.
So many of them have that.

Absolutely Nothing on the inside.

And empty husk.

Republicans are nothing more than a Zombie Apocalypse that can vote.

92. In her case, that's because she's got a total of three brain cells
and all three are fighting with each other.

79. Please don't spread any "work ethic" !!!
Edited on Tue May-11-10 09:35 AM by h9socialist
It destroys natural resources and the natural flow of life. Count me in with Karl Marx: the realm of freedom begins where the realm of necessity ends . . . and the shortening of the working day is prerequisite to expanding the realm of freedom. (See Das Kapital, Volume III around page 885 -- and someone put a bag over the head of this petty-bourgeois ignoramus with the really stupid sign!).

88. The wealthy do not march, nor do they attend rallies.
They sit in comfort while these rubes do their bidding.
