A Day in the Life of Joe Middle-Class Republican

By John Gray Cincinnati, Ohio - - July - 2004



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 FSLIC 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”.

And Joe has Republican capitalists to thank for providing everything that he
consumed in his day. Without them, he'd have picked his own fruits and
berries when he got up that morning...that is, if he survived without the
medications he needs.

So that's what a Republican capitalist does, and all this time I thought
it was migrant workers who picked all those fruits and berries.

Naw. Read or watch the Grapes of Wrath. The Republicans own the orchards
and exploit the pickers. They did then, and they still do.

===============================

So why don't the pickers find another occupation or strike for higher
wages?

Better yet, why don't the pickers get together, save some money, buy some
land, plant some trees, and start their own orchard? Oh yes, I guess it's
because then they would be the "evil" bosses, who provide jobs for the poor
"little people".

Because they are all here illegally, and so far, we're not STUPID enough to
give them federal loans. But soon we will be, if KERRY gets in, and then
we'll FORGIVE the loans as well. Dumb and dumber...Kerry and Edwards.
Actually, Kerry worked for his money, chasing ambulances.

Another mis-informed... Pity

That's ignorant. There were purveyors of goods thousands of years
before there were "Republican capitalists".

Ah, so it's quite all right for the republican orchard owners to
exploit the workers, but your just dumb if you want them to have any
rights or priveleges, huh?
