The term "Right to Work" has become a detested phrase

I realize that Republick naming conventions are an excellent indicator of the exact reverse of the intent, you know, naming something the exact opposite of what the thing realy is meant to do. Clear Skies Initiative for loosening pollution standards, for example.

But this one, Right to Work, at this time, is a truly insulting phrase. Right to work. No, right to fire for any whimsical reason that suits the owners or managers. Right to work - my ass.

2. I noticed that opposite thing
when I observed that every time they say "jobs" they mean "profits"

They always talk about creating jobs, but they mean profits.

They worry about losing jobs, but they mean profits.

Someone should publish a Republican/English Handbook.
