Day in the life of a Middle Class Republican
 

From Tom Hartmann...


"A Day in the Life of Joe Middle-Class Republican"

Joe gets up at 6:00am to prepare his morning coffee. He fills his pot
full of good clean drinking water because some liberal fought for
minimum water quality standards. He takes his daily medication with
his first swallow of coffee. His medications are safe to take because
some liberal fought to insure their safety and work as advertised.

All but $10.00 of his medications are paid for by his employers
medical plan because some liberal union workers fought their employers
for paid medical insurance, now Joe gets it too. He prepares his
morning breakfast, bacon and eggs this day. Joe’s bacon is safe to eat
because some liberal fought for laws to regulate the meat packing
industry.

Joe takes his morning shower reaching for his shampoo; His bottle is
properly labeled with every ingredient and the amount of its contents
because some liberal fought for his right to know what he was putting
on his body and how much it contained. Joe dresses, walks outside and
takes a deep breath. The air he breathes is clean because some tree
hugging liberal fought for laws to stop industries from polluting our
air. He walks to the subway station for his government subsidized ride
to work; it saves him considerable money in parking and transportation
fees. You see, some liberal fought for affordable public
transportation, which gives everyone the opportunity to be a
contributor.

Joe begins his work day; he has a good job with excellent pay,
medicals benefits, retirement, paid holidays and vacation because some
liberal union members fought and died for these working standards.
Joe’s employer pays these standards because Joe’s employer doesn’t
want his employees to call the union. If Joe is hurt on the job or
becomes unemployed he’ll get a worker compensation or unemployment
check because some liberal didn’t think he should loose his home
because of his temporary misfortune.

Its noon time, Joe needs to make a Bank Deposit so he can pay some
bills. Joe’s deposit is federally insured by the FDIC because some
liberal wanted to protect Joe’s money from unscrupulous bankers who
ruined the banking system before the depression.

Joe has to pay his Fannie Mae underwritten Mortgage and his below
market federal student loan because some stupid liberal decided that
Joe and the government would be better off if he was educated and
earned more money over his life-time.

Joe is home from work, he plans to visit his father this evening at
his farm home in the country. He gets in his car for the drive to
dads; his car is among the safest in the world because some liberal
fought for car safety standards. He arrives at his boyhood home. He
was the third generation to live in the house financed by Farmers Home
Administration because bankers didn’t want to make rural loans. The
house didn’t have electric until some big government liberal stuck his
nose where it didn’t belong and demanded rural electrification. (Those
rural Republican’s would still be sitting in the dark)

He is happy to see his dad who is now retired. His dad lives on Social
Security and his union pension because some liberal made sure he could
take care of himself so Joe wouldn’t have to. After his visit with dad
he gets back in his car for the ride home.
He turns on a radio talk show, the host’s keeps saying that liberals
are bad and conservatives are good. (He doesn’t tell Joe that his
beloved Republicans have fought against every protection and benefit
Joe enjoys throughout his day) Joe agrees, "We don’t need those big
government liberals ruining our lives; after all, I’m a self made man
who believes everyone should take care of themselves, just like I
have".

I paid full working dues to my union for 25 years. I was always happy to
write the check each quarter.

nice summary!

Social Security is that the same as Social Security Insurance that the
old people were forced to pay into for the last 90 years and for the
money the government tool promised to provide part of their retirement
income?

Indeed.

They'd certainly notice if these little pleasures were taken away...

I never felt more like a statistic when I worked in the union when I
was young. I was nothing more than a drone, as were the others.
Having had some encounters with the Soviet Bloc when in my life time,
I have appreciated the fact that working under union duress was a
microcosmic experience of communism.

How can a union stop a plant closing? I can see how they can cause a
plant closing.

I have seen cases in which businesses have moved out of state or out
of country (and have even been bankrupted) by dint of union greed.
Unions may have had some nobility of purpose at one time. They don't
anymore.

Start your own company if you don't like the way "management" is running
the one where your are an employee. Does your employment contract have
a clause that says you are guaranteed lifetime employment? Oh, that's
right you don't have an employment contract.

It's going to be an interesting day when your job is phased out and you
are dumped into the job market without an appropriate educational
background.

I got paid today. Mr Evil CEO deposited a big fat check into my my bank

A single stinking diploma from a third rate liberal arts school in
Kansas is all he has to hang his hat on. And the only thing he'll be

Gee whiz, I get checks from my consulting business all month long, and
manage to get to the bank when necessary to deposit them. Y-a-w-n.

You must be working for a really small company if all the CEO has to do
is handle payroll.

If the definition of "drone" escapes you, you would certainly find any
meaningful response "meaningless."

Does your employment contract have
a clause that says you are guaranteed lifetime employment? Oh, that's
right you don't have an employment contract.-

that's right. we americans have no protection at all.

Sure you do. Do a good job, make the company money, and you'll be
rewarded. That's what I dislike about unions today. You don't have to do
a commendable job, just show up.-

which, of course, is true in fairy tales, but not in the real world.

company can make more money in korea? it'll shut down the plant

people try to unionize? they get fired

that's what i dislike about corporate america...destroying communities
in pursuit of more and more money for the ultra wealthy.

and convincing folks like you that they are your savior

Gee whiz, I get checks from my consulting business all month long, and

I didn't know the DNC paid weekly.

You must be working for a really small company if all the CEO has to do
is handle payroll.

It is small compared to my wife's company. My company has 40,000
employees world wide and my wife's has 200,000.

Meaningless? You sure are dense. If you believe that you can do a better
job of running a company than your boss then get off your lazy ass and
start your own company and prove it. And, if you just sit there in the
lunch room bitching and whining about the boss then you are not serious
about your belief.

These right-wing morons simply are not worth much effort, and since they

town halls, there's no need to "debate" them, either.
