How about FAIR Trade for an Innovation
How nice we get to hear the same old line of shit "We'll out Innovate them"

The Free Trade we have now will prevent any and all innovation simply because the minute you invent the better "Mouse Trap" China will be mass producing knock offs.

It hasn't worked for 30 years - why will it work now

Come on Obama - stand up for the American Working Class for once

2. The white collar professionals of both parties have an utter disdain for working people
If you are not a consultant, politician, or CEO you can fuck right off. They believe that our "betters" deserve endless comfort while the rest of us deserve lives that are nasty, brutish, and short.

3. Horrible but true
I've heard it myself from those types. Working people are not held in high regard: We're a commodity held to a different standard than they. They encase it in a "it's just business...don't take it personally" tone publicly, but to hear them after they've loosened up after a few drinks you can't believe the degree of contempt they hold us in. They don't want to deal with us, even if we're serfs. They just wish we'd all go away.
