(8,554 posts)The incredible success that your preciiiooouuuusssss "business" enjoyed throughout most of the last century was built on one thing and one thing alone...the blood and sweat of a strong united working class. It was Union labor that built what you call a solid "middle class" and enabled that good ole healthy "consumerism" that is the bread and butter of this system.
Well, here's a light-bulb moment for ya, government may have done their damnedest to eradicate those Unions but guess what...the working class is all still right here, we are watching agape as they swindle away every safety-net/right we've ever fought for; we're cringing that the taxes WE have paid into all of our lives get spent on invasions, bombings, occupations, total annihilation in endless imperial quests; and we are literally dying to be able to walk in to see a doctor where we might actually get healed, rather than bled dry for our last red cent. We don't need no stinkin' profits, we need to stand up in solidarity and reclaim our nation from the weasels who've near destroyed it!
I think that this particular post of yours is on a par with that last sick "fantasy" you told us about. I cannot even believe that I've woken up to read this here.
