Loving Labor’s Losses: Whoredom Is Optional (Jason Miller)

Are we not the whores of big business, selling our product for their commercial lust? --Arthur Erickson

Sept. 14, 2006 -- When George Bush spoke at a maritime training center in Piney Point, MD, on Labor Day, 2006, ostensibly he was a respected leader paying tribute to the hard-working men and women forming the backbone of the nation’s economy.

In reality, Bush is a pimp for the moneyed interests and corporations who wield most of the wealth and power in the United States. Bush, his administration and Congress represent the interests of this tiny slice of the United States population with unwavering dedication. Money, profits, and property are the paramount elements in their perverse system of values. And by their reckoning, people are commodities. Those amongst the population who are fit to work are whores who exist to service their needs and satisfy their desires. And the aristocracy’s goal is to entice or extort their whores to perform as cheaply as possible. Disabled, infirm, elderly, and unemployable individuals are “useless eaters” who have no intrinsic value because they cannot produce profits. Ergo federal programs supporting their meaningless existences are rapidly shrinking.

Consider this excerpt from Bush’s laudatory speech (even a whore needs to have their ass kissed once in a while):

"Today, on Labor Day, we honor those who work, and we honor those who work because, in so doing, we recognize that one of the reasons why we're the economic leader in the world is because of our work force. And the fundamental question facing the country is, how do we continue to be the economic leader in the world? What do we do to make sure that, when people look around the world next year, and 10 years from now, they say, the United States is still the most powerful economy in the world? I think that's an important goal to have, because when we're the most powerful economy in the world, it means our people benefit. It means there's job opportunities. That's what we want. We want people working. We want people to realize their dreams."

Bush wants to keep the “people working” so he and “his base” can continue to “realize their dreams.” Wage slaves in the United States who still believe they can achieve the American Dream are chasing a one in a million shot. Not unlike a gambling casino, the odds they face are tremendous and the house almost always wins. Almost no one successfully scales the craggy peaks separating the poor from the rich in the United States. Yet like those who run the gaming industry, the aristocrats atop the economic order need that occasional “big winner” to “prove” that the system is still a meritocracy.
