if companies/corps were fair, there would be no need for unions. if they weren't profiteering gluttons, they wouldn't move their factories to foreign countries with lower/no wage laws and little-to-no enforcements on environmental issues. welcome to the horrible world of capitalism, folks. I say instead of pointing that rifle mouth of yours at forums, and instead of crossing picket lines, try standing up for civil rights and facing the people who are really at cause here–the totalitarian, Orwellian, capitalistic scum we call congress. yeah, that's right. you voted in the guy who has only made 5 votes this entire year…because he was too busy focusing on his golf game and his retirement to give two shits about anything but himself and perpetuating his progeny. he put on a smiling face for the camera, kissed a few babies in your neighborhood, so people don't even think twice…never check the records of the library of congress…probably because they're too busy running back and forth from their job they hate, trying to buy things they don't need, watching entirely too much television and basically wasting their lives focusing on material possessions.
do you have any idea why we spend so much money on defense? to protect your fat, ignorant ass? sure. to an extent. so you can earn/spend that green. but have you ever really broken it down? why do we outspend the top 10+ countries in defense? because no one gives two shits about who got the bid to build the tanks and bombers. no one questions how much these things cost. and should they? who cares about these things when they're running their kids back and forth to school. but as soon as they start investing that money into social programs…hospitals, schools, etc., people immediately want a say in how the money is spent. G-8. BINGO! I have a Bingo!
Sure, this may be over-simplifying the problem. But you know what's going on behind the scenes, even without knowing the details. It sure feeds my inner Socialist. Maybe I'm putting too much faith in the heart of common man, the common good and the humility/self sacrifice of humanity in general. So long as it is allowed for any group of people to become the Elite, there will always be a caste, a poverty, a lower, middle and upper class. Is it your God-given right to be holier than thou, richer than thou, only to be concerned with your own interest? what about love thy neighbor? what the hell ever happened to that? the golden rule? equality. revolution my friend. it will happen. and you're goddamn right I'll be a part of it.
maybe this is a little explosive for the topic at hand, but this is what it boils down to. so quit your yapping about petty issues such as unions and how they should be thankful to have a job in 'this shitty Michigan economy'. we all know the real offenders here. mega corps, capitalism, extremist fundamentalist groups, lobbyists, international relations, our reliance on oil, and this government I refer to as Oceania.
And don't even try and feed me the crap about how I should be sooo thankful to be in this country and how there are plenty of places where I'd be worse off. Ever stop to think that we're the cause for the current state of our earth's third-world nations? sure, not entirely, or all-inclusively. Nicaragua anyone? Haiti? Brazil? Or any other country in this hemisphere that isn't somehow associated with Britain. The people in Haiti are starving because all the good land in the country is owned by corps and is used so you can have a banana in your cereal. There are people in Brazil that are so malnourished due to some of our embargoes that scientists are classifying them as a different species because their brain mass has decreased in size to about 60% of a healthy homo-Sapiens'. Oh, but these are just some examples and I'm sure I could throw a few more names around [Cambodia], but I don't think [panama] that would make [puppet Israel] you think [Afghanistan] any differently.
good day.
