"SNIP......................................
In short, our current system and philosophy is creating a country of a few million overlords and 300+ million serfs.
That's not what has made America a great country. It's also not what most people think America is supposed to be about.
So we might want to rethink that.
Meanwhile, if you want to know more about what's wrong with the economy, flip through these charts:

(2,921 posts)1. I am ALL for forcing ALL congressional and senatorial Republicans to work for two weeks MINIMUM
at a minimum wage at a union factory.
Take away their credit cards, their cars, their liquors, their coke, their dressage horse, their imported cars, their money for one week at a $7.75/hr slave wages, with charges for uniforms for the week, and their chronically shorted register (Republicans are notoriously known for stealing money) are charged against their wages if it does not balance. FICA taxes, state taxes and local taxes will take it out and give them maybe $35 a day.
Union members will do NOTHING for the Repukes. The Republicans should be ordered to wear ugly red outfits costing them maybe $15 a week.
Easy to identify which ones are the union members, and which ones aren't.
