(1,372 posts)We used to say abiut the company I worked for:
"They take the best of the best and make them mediocre."
Devide and conquer
Lower salaries over time
Reduce benefits over time
Tell employees they are lucky they have a job.
Excommunicate the ones who dare speak up.
(either lower ratings or find a way to fire them)
Now, after 35 years we find we were right
But still, nobody will speak up
And it's scarey to see the numbers of people who will vote for the Repubs
after it's been shown that they are working to make the rich richer!
They see the numbers. They see the difference in the salary increases.
They can't see that without middle class spending, businesses can't survive.
And they are talking about reducing the taxes on the wealthy.
And Ryan is still slinging the same crap he put out before.
And the numbers still don't match up!
Beautifully written cleanhippie! Thank you!
