A question for the companies throwing tantrums about the President's re-election.

If the disdain you express for your employees is an indication of how you treat people that you depend on...why would anyone want to be your customer?

If you treat the people that run your business like pieces of crap...how do you treat your customers?.

Sorry, but if paying an extra .15 for a pizza, or a healthcare surcharge to ensure your employees some dignity, is going to "break" you...I'll take my business elsewhere.

I'm sorry that you may have to downsize yourself to a 20,000 square foot mansion, vice a 40,000 square foot mansion, but I've about had it with the fucking "serf" mentality.

I keep thinking about Henry Ford (no bleeding heart liberal there), who, when asked; "why on God's green earth he would pay his employees $15 an hour"?, responded; "because I'd like for them to be able to buy the cars they're producing".

Funny how $15 an hour was considered a decent wage back in the 1930's and 40's, yet today it's considered a "hand-out".

Fuck all of you worthless pieces of amphibian shit!

1. We've always known that right wingers are piss poor in the gubmint biz

All they're doing today is proving that they're equally piss poor in the bizness biz as well.

2. It's like the right-wing governors who say they will refuse health care reform.

One or two will shoot themselves in the foot because of it but most of them will back down and quietly slink into a corner, hoping their tirades will be forgotten.

3. I've always heard that you can tell a lot about a person

by observing the way they treat a waitress or waiter.

I think you can also learn a lot about a company by observing how they treat their employees.

5. Your Ford facts are mangled.

Not $15/hr. $5 for an 8-hour day, for eligible employees. Partly revenue sharing.

It replaced $2.25 for a 9-hour day.

1914. Not 1930s and '40s.

6. Apart of a few wrong facts on what Henry Ford paid

You are correct as to the reasons he did such.

7. The problem is that the Repugs and their Plutocrat masters can effect the economy.

We've seen this elsewhere. When corporations oppose an elected reformer, the economy goes into the tank. The Plutocrats try and show that the reformer's ideas don't work. The only question is this. Will President Obama have the courage to take the action that has worked elsewhere? When Corporations cheat and go to extremes to harm the economy, and the people will the President take them over? Chavez in Venezuela has had the courage. When a farming corporation purposely under plants the land to starve the people, they were taken over. When the Oil Companies cheat people, and lie about their production, exporting vitally needed materials, they were taken over. When the rich live in luxury while the people live in dirt floor huts, the Government is morally bound to do something about it. Will we have the courage to do what is needed? Or will we continue to move to the Right in an effort to placate the Plutocrats and their puppets in Washington?

8. Ronald Reagan turned CEOs into psychopathic douchebags.

They got drunk with power under Reagan and went completely out of control under Bush. Now we're speaking out against these pieces of shit and their response is "I've got mine fuck you." It's way past time we start prosecuting these motherfuckers.
