Worst at job creation since Herbert "Slowhand" Hoover. Tax breaks that don’t benefit bottom feeders like me. The gradual and successful creation of the American Social Caste system(ironically, at a time when India is taking off as a world economic power). All from someone who would be flipping burgers at McDonalds if not born into a prominent family. Even if the average household got it's fair share of the tax cuts, it would all be wiped out by steadily rising healthy insurance costs(if you’re lucky to have insurance or be able to afford it). Not to mention high gas prices, high home heating prices, blah blah blah.
SUGGESTION: Celebrate this Labor Day by boycotting those bastards at Walmart. A nice symbolic gesture. They pay crap wages, encourage their employees to apply for medicaid, exploit foreign workers, ruin small town business districts and recently warned their own workers not to vote for Barack Obama because he wants to make it easier for them to unionize. Bush/Cheney, Walmart, et al is to the american labor movement what a can of Raid was to those cute little bugs in those old tv commecials: it kills them dead(well, eventually).
BTW, I hate that new Walmart tv campaign. Yes, you can save over $300 a year with their frozen pizzas. First, you have to eat a lot of frozen pizza(wouldn’t you like some variety in your low nutrition dinners, such as high nitrate hot dogs or candy bars?). Second, it’s probably especially lousy frozen pizza. Better idea: keep one frozen pizza in your freezer for a night when you’re too tired to cook and occasionally go to a locally owned and operated mom and pop pizza parlor - a much better plan of operation(and you’ll support a local business - now that’s real free enterprise).
And as always, do you really want to wear a cheap pair of Walmart slacks to work? Are you really comfortable bending over in front of your boss to pick up a pencil — knowing fully that those cheap pants you saved money on were sewn together by an oppressed, low paid foreign sweatshop worker, who really, really, really had to go to the bathroom?
Happy Labor Day. Remember, it’s ok to be getting screwed in America. You're in good company - a company that ranks in the multi-millions. Just be aware of it and do something about it. There’s nothing sadder than a low income republican supporting wuss.
