44. How did you make decisions before you joined DU?

Some of the replies are Classic Supply Side:

"The Job Creators are a Jealous Gawd, and will reject you on a whim. You working people take no real risks! You sit next to your sack of Labor, able to reach in and pull out an endless supply of physical health, adequate energy and unwavering motivation if you WANT TO.

If you don't want to spend some of this endless supply of free Labor you possess, no matter how good the reason you give to avoid the work, you are LAZY and DON'T REALLY WANT A JOB.

Here's reality.

Your wife's work is a business. What is she risking to make the day's meager wage?

The vehicle. Is is fully insured? If she wrecks it, can you replace it? If not, what percentage of the car's replacement cost is covered by the day's wages? Is it worth the day's wages to risk the Chevy? Is it worth the job itself to risk the Chevy? How long will this person be employing your wife? If the client is this demanding and unrealistic, is it possible he might fire her anyway for some other frivolous reason?

The health care costs of being injured. What part of an ambulance ride, hospital ER visit and medications - plus lost work time - will the day's wages cover? Will the job itself cover if she doesn't lose it after being injured?

And let's not mention the socialist police and EMTs who must respond and possibly put their own lives at risk to rescue your wife should she reel off into a ditch. Teabaggers sure hate taxes, but when they demand you "show up or else" they are costing us public funds. The businesses want these free services to be covered by the working folks, too.

What should you do?
