New GOP Meme - Give Your Life for Your Country - Give Your Life For Your Company

If you really sit down and meditate what Romney means when he talks his political jargon, the underlying meme would be it is patriotic to "give your live for your country and give your life for your company". Every day our soldiers give their lives for the country in one way or another. And every day workers die as a result of their job. Even with the regulations we have workers are dying all the time as the result of their workplace. Just look at what happened to those miner a few years ago. Yet NO ONE paid the price for deliberate negligence that was just as bad a murder.

In truth the GOP considers our soldiers "cannon fodder" just like they consider American workers "economic fodder". And they protect themselves with the American flag.

"Don't go thinking you have a right to any of the money it makes, peon. We squeezed it fair and square, and by 'fair and square' I mean we lobbied to have the rules rewritten to make whatever we wanted qualify as 'fair and square'."
