Wall Street Liberalism?

It's Wall St. Capitalism that doesn't give a **** about the welfare of
its fellow citizens.

And/or.
There are many free-trade liberals who think that the if the price of
joblessness here is "lifting up" the Mexican or Chinese peasant,
that's a fair trade.

You're leaving out an important tenet of the liberal message. Those
wages should be living wages and come with the same benefits and
security they would in a civilized nation such as ours. IOW, it'd be
a good deal more expensive to take those jobs and distribute them to
the lowest bidder if the quotient included bennies.

Right in line with the Wall Street pukes who see also see that as
fine, for reasons of lower wages enhancing "shareholder value."
Of course I think they're all full of ****.
They live in fairyland, since most have never worked with their hands
producing real goods, and still don't realize that the money party is
over and it's time for Americans to get back to work.

Agreed.

But they'll come to their senses as the economy continues to tank.
Or be brought to their senses by tar and feather.

My preference.

Just my opinion, gently told.
Man, I miss my factory jobs. Maybe a little boring compared to some
work, but finishing a shift with clear head and a sense that I
contributed something to the real world made that worthwhile.
Kept me in good shape too, ready to go to another job and play two!
Wouldn't mind trying it again.

I had a factory job for a while out of high school. I wasn't ready
for more school yet. Felt the same way. Ran a tab at the local
greasy spoon and let me drink beer at lunch and after work. After a
while it made me want to go back to school.

Turned wrenches on cars while going to school. That was brutal.

Die with grease on my hands and a smile on my face.

Grease on the hands is good. Don't die that way.

.....Nah.
