"The workers are the fundamentals of the economy"
Remember that one?

We heard it from the RW for a month solid. Why are Republicans now blaming those very workers for the automobile industry collapsing?

The RW pundits, and the GOP in congress, need this shoved in their faces.

1. Its pure bullshit ....
Edited on Fri Dec-12-08 11:13 PM by Trajan
Workers are the FOUNDATION of wealth ..... The richest of the rich cannot make a plug nickel without PAID workers who can buy their goods or services ....

They have starved the Middle Class by offering paltry wages, leaving families unable to keep up with rising expenses, which eventually lead to loan defaults, which caused a credit meltdown, and left the Middle Class unable to purchase any more goods ....

No income ? ... No purchases ...

No purchases ? ... no sales ...

No sales ? ... No revenues ...

No revenues ? .... NO PROFITS ....

Pretty fucking simple if you ask me ....

What we need is MORE highly paid workers, not LESS ! ....

3. Workers of the world, Arise! You have nothing to lose but your chains.
I heard that somewhere.

2. Y'know what, though? They don't care. They really don't care that they lie.

5. Good catch - and you're right.
It needs shoving into their faces in the worst way.
