It's Hard Work to be a Worker in America...It is just plain Hard..

[bleedingheart]

Our employers are laying off our coworkers, cutting our health care benefits and asking us to train our replacement workers.

Our children go to schools that lack funding so we are asked to volunteer more and pay more in taxes as the Federal tax dollars go to Halliburton.

Our parents are having their life's savings savaged by supplemental insurance payments which only offer limited prescription coverage...and they are they lucky ones.

Our young high school graduates are having to make the choice between drowning themselves in debt for college or taking a risk and joining the Armed Forces so that they can get some college money in exchange for getting shot at in Baghdad.

Our neighbor's are immersed in debt as they try to make ends meet. They are on their second and third mortgages and many are contemplating bankruptcy...something they abhor.

There are children and adults that went to bed hungry in this nation tonight...

Life is hard for the average American and yet most aren't moaning...they are just trying to do their best and trying their best in these trying times to have hope... So I have a message for that Stupid Bastard in the White House.

Step aside and let the Democrats run this country because we are not afraid of hard work.

2. News for you. He's not going to just step aside.

But we are going to have to kick his worthless ass to the curb, and then down the road, out on the highway headed south, due west, and keep kicking until that whole criminal crew is out of business.

stomp in time.

retired to Crawford.

3. I was prepared for humor. Instead, my throat tightens.

It is hard work to work and the work is hard. Hard.

I worry about downsize, privatize, outsource. I worry about "smart" health care. I worry about "low low monthly payments, and, why, even your creditors recommend this company to take you out of debt".

I worry about having a job in a year. No Child Left Behind? Well, if they aren't healthy and they are coming to school without food and they can't see well and have some trouble hearing and can't get special support in school because they are not able to keep up with the speeded-up curriculum but no one wants to pay for the people who provide support and they don't have enough attention because their parents are also working hard and it's hard work, they are going to get left behind.

Yeah, *, you pampered twit. You can try some hard work, and we'll give you the chance this November. You'll never have to, of course we know, but to call anything in your circumscribed little life "hard" is a very bad joke, as are you.

5. What galls me is the contempt one sees in his eyes toward people

who are not as privileged as he is.At one time during his Harvard B-School days, he told a Professor that people are poor because they are lazy. Someone should ask him if he believes in that still.

It is a wonder that this country still supports him to the extent it supposedly does.

7. I think those that support him do so out of blind nationalism

it is actually quite scary.

6. Supporting the "Lifestyles of the Rich and Powerful" on a minimum wage ...

... is hard work. It's really too bad that those "low skilled" workers can't take the vacations that thier labor makes possible for the "owners."
