US Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI) proposes new model for America - Communist China

http://wisdems.org/news/blog/view/2010-09-chairman-ron-johnson-says-communist-china-better-for

Here's what he said:

"I’d encourage people to go onto Youtube and type in Steve Wynn. He does about a five-minute piece where he’s talking about- he’s the fellow who does Wynn resorts in Las Vegas. He’s also creating resorts in Macau in China, communist China. And his point is, the level of uncertainty, the climate for business investment is far more certain in communist China then it is in the U.S. here." [Ron Johnson, Wisconsin Radio Network, 8/30/10]





Yeah, this China ...

And the "don't commit suicide" oaths new employees have to agree to.

Uncertainty is not a great thing to live with, but we all live with it. But the poor person who has a minimum wage job and has to choose between rent and groceries has a LOT more uncertainty than the billionaire has. Yet, that is not even a blip on the radar for Republicans. We all have some degree of it some time or another though, but this constant drive to eliminate it has reached pathological levels seen by this insane comment. Do people really want that horrible environment and that degree of awful working conditions for the workers JUST so they can be certain instead of uncertain?

It really is a pathological hatred for uncertainty, and it's time to stop the enabling.
