So funny how another opposing view is so hated in this thread. I mean all of you sound like your shit dont stink. Get real and admit its not all perfect, but there is one right side-the RIGHT side.
- Opposing view is only hated when presented in a odious way. Respectful disagreement is encouragedlocustsloth
- by me, at least

The $50 Lesson
I recently asked my friends' little girl what she wanted to be when she grows up. She said she wanted to be President of the United States. Both of her parents, liberal Democrats, were standing there. So I asked her, "If you were President, what would be the first thing you would do?" She replied, "I'd give food and houses to all the homeless people." Her parents beamed.
"Wow...what a worthy goal," I told her. "But you don't have to wait until you're President to do that. You can come over to my house and mow the lawn, pull weeds, and sweep my driveway, and I'll pay you $50. Then I'll take you over to the grocery store where the homeless guy hangs out, and you can give him the $50 to use toward food and a new house."
She thought that over for a few seconds, then she looked me straight in the eye and asked, "Why doesn't the homeless guy come over and do the work, and you can just pay him the $50?"
I said, "Welcome to what use to be the Republican Party."
Her parents still aren't speaking to me. (Made my day)!

the absolute funniest part of that piece of shit anecdote is:
"But you don't have to wait until you're President to do that. You can come over to my house and mow the lawn, pull weeds, and sweep my driveway, and I'll pay you $50."way to reduce a dream into keeping a young soul in line and incite labor.
FUCK YOUR FACE
- i'd like replace 'funniest' with deplorableBonSeff
- the "dream" as you put it, is to spend other peoples money like its her own. some dream.********
- incite labor? as if labor is violence or something despicable.********
- "come over and mow my lawn"
it's a rhetorical beat down. you can't see that? its a power play.

you dimwits are too fucking slow to even understand the draconian bullshit you are buying into, it just gives you a chub to repost it because there was a lot of applause in the comments from whatever shit forum you found it. holy shit.

- oh right... the DREAM... hows that working for ya?********

That's a saccharine little story that has little to do with the real causes and need of a declining middle class in America. And paying poor people $50 to do work is simply an old school American value of neither "party". It's just called an honest days pay for an honest days work. And hell, the Modern Republican party doesn't own houses in the US, but rather in the Cayman islands where they pay the help cents on the dollar to keep it clean. And they outsource good jobs to China where they pay again cents on the dollar to do what Americans used to do for a living wage. And that's why the poor fellow is homeless. That or he got his mond bent out of shape in one of the Republican Foreign Adventure Tours To Exciting Middle Eastern Lands.

handle, your beloved Republican party wants the government to deregulate everything under the guise of "freedom", "free market", and "capitalism" so that companies are free to send all of our jobs overseas. This is why there are no jobs. This is why there's a homeless dude on the corner.
- seems like minimum wage laws and controlling currencies through an abundance of paper helps create cheap labor elsewhere********
- Yes, that's why there's a minimum wage in China. Not.TheBlueOne
- Cheap labor is the outgrowth of social control - nazis, slavery, structural capitalist violence...TheBlueOne
- ..but you just go on with your little paper money theory there.TheBlueOne
- Blue, are you talking to me?CanHasQBN
- elsewhere. A lot of factors. Regardless if the girl wants to be a so called typical laborer of the system to pursue her goals she has a right too********
- she has a right too do so. And that is more logical than thinking she can take money from others and boost ego giving to those with less
********
- with giving it those with less while ignoring the cause and effect situations regarding her desires********

And the only other thing I got from that is that Ron Paul is in favor of child labor. But he does seem like he pays well, so I'll consider a wash.
- can u deny that collective measures to increase income and growth did not help create an unbalanced labor force on global scale?********
- global scale? Did we not create our lifestyle at the cost of growth and global markets to take advantage?********
- Come on blue. Thought u were a educated man who can look at both cause and effects********

Dems at their finest... another example of pandering to the illegal/mexican base at the expense of the safety of legal/legitimate citizens. How do you explain this ridiculousness?

And the contradictory nonsense:
Driving without a license is a serious crime and accounts for a large percentage of all accidents in California. The penalties for driving without a license or being an unlicensed driving is severe and can result in vehicle impoundment.- ahhhhh good find, let the hypocrisy continue!********
- thx! hideous in California-have to deal with Dem state + Dem Pres = misery.********

This is what a capitalist utopia looks like, apparently:

Apple executives say that going overseas, at this point, is their only option. One former executive described how the company relied upon a Chinese factory to revamp iPhone manufacturing just weeks before the device was due on shelves. Apple had redesigned the iPhone’s screen at the last minute, forcing an assembly line overhaul. New screens began arriving at the plant near midnight.
A foreman immediately roused 8,000 workers inside the company’s dormitories, according to the executive. Each employee was given a biscuit and a cup of tea, guided to a workstation and within half an hour started a 12-hour shift fitting glass screens into beveled frames. Within 96 hours, the plant was producing over 10,000 iPhones a day.
“The speed and flexibility is breathtaking,” the executive said. “There’s no American plant that can match that.”
Basically, if Americans want to work, they should agree to the following
- live in company dorms
- be on call 24/7
- Can be woken up at midnight with biscuit and tea.
- No worker's rights
- No safety norms- "How do you explain this ridiculousness?"CanHasQBN
- We created a standard of living outside the rest of the world. seems absurd to us. I have no porblem thinkign all should have it********
- have it. But its not logically possible. People get emotionally involved tryign to make it so creating more problems.********
- problems.********
- u buying an iphone CanHasQBN. dont like it dont buy it. this is how capitalism would work if you wouldnt be so greedy yourself.********
- greedy yourself.********
- is ANY cell phone made in the USA????CanHasQBN
- doesnt matter. dont buy it if you dont like it. stick to your beliefs. dont sell out.********
- and in order to make a living, I need a phone. So without a phone, I will be... homeless. Brilliant plan for America, handle!CanHasQBN
- You are not addressing the problem by the root. We don't really have much of a choice at this point in modern timesCanHasQBN
- to give up our phones.CanHasQBN
- and by your logic, we'd pretty much have to give up EVERYTHING, seeing that pretty much everything we haveCanHasQBN
- is made in another country with little to no labor laws.CanHasQBN
- so what's your solution to this issue?********
- We have to REGULATE corporations for the good of our country. Stop hiring Chinese and start hiring Americans! Get it?!CanHasQBN
- Get it??!CanHasQBN
- Regulate? So are you saying all businesses have to reside in US? This is a global market right? Basically u r saying that US companies need to end because the way I see it, another company not in the US will just take its place and we will buy their shit. wow man glad you thought that one through.********
- US companies need to end because the way I see it, another company not in the US will just take its place and we will buy their shit. wow man glad you thought that one through.********

Foxconn chairman compares his workforce to ‘animals’
http://www.zdnet.com/blog/asia/f…
“Hon Hai has a workforce of over one million and as human beings are also animals, to manage one million animals gives me a headache,” said Terry Gou, chairman of Taiwan’s Hon Hai, the parent company of Foxconn.
This was his statement at the end of year party, and considering recent events in Foxconn; Gou picked a regrettable choice of words.
Unfortunately, what could just be poor wording is made much worse by the fact that he also suggested he wanted to learn management techniques from Chin Shin-Chien, director of Tapei Zoo.
