You guys who worship Wall Street and its lackeys
crack me up. You act as though you are independently
wealthy, and made everything you ever used with your
own hands. Note: we all depend on other people, like
it or not. Did those of you who blindly follow the "self-made
man" ideology actually make EVERYTHING you use?
Did you actually quarry the gravel for the roads you drive
on, and drill for the oil for the asphalt for the roads you drive
on? Did you mine the ore that made the cars you drive?
Did you (again) drill for the oil and refine it into the gasoline
that fuels your car(s)? Did you actually grow every bite of
food you ate? Did you grow the cotton for the clothes you
wear? And did you drive all those goods to the markets
you patronize? Or (mandatory railroad content!) did you
run the trains that took those goods to the yards and then
drive the trucks to the stores you go to? Oh -- and do you
clean the floors and bathrooms in the stores you go to?
Just exactly who who you suppose does all those jobs that
none of us can do all by ourselves? Don't we all deserve to
be paid a decent salary and get decent benefits for the work
we do? Or are YOU willing to work for slave wages and be
treated like dirt or worse? I'm not, and I completely support
a living wage for everyone. (BTW, it was NOT unions that
destroyed the economy -- it was and IS Wall Street and the
banksters. Please go read what really happened to our poor
country before you continue to repeat the lies you have been fed.)
