This is what we are going to have soon.

The oligarchs and American Taliban aka TeaParTY are going to make it so.

a life of misery working for the Koch Brothers.

You see there are too many non professional people needing jobs.

The jobs non professionals do can be done by outsourcing or in-sourcing, so either you are willing to clean hotel rooms and answer phones for $4 an hour or you will starve.

Food stamps and so on will be gone.

If I am willing to clean shit out of the toilet of the rich man's house for $3 and hour and you want $4, you starve.

I'm still up watching the Wisconsin Senate debate the Right to Work for less with no rights bill on the floor.

Speaker Robin Vos is an asshole. He's trying to GOP Teabag the opposition with interruptions and asinine comments about their debate speeches...

"Keep comments related to sending the bill to the Small Business Committee" coupled with "we can skip debate and go right to voting on the bill".

He sits in 'the big chair' and laughs because he knows that in spite of all of the debate, he has no intention of following through on vetting this law.

His role is to ass-kiss special interest donors and Scott Walker. Screw the people and businesses of Wisconsin.

He needs to sit down and shut the fuck up!
