Dear Don1001,
Before long it will be May Day and it probably still be snowing in Leningrad,
oh I forgot, its called Saint Petersburg, again. The Soviet Union didn’t last long in the scope of history but neither did workers’ rights. May Day is also referred to as the International Worker’s day. Which was started to commemorate the fight for an eight-hour workday? In 1958, the Congress changed the International Workers’ Day to Loyalty Day, it sounded too commie and they were right. When Child labor laws were enacted, where did those jobs go? That’s right, straight to third world countries. Seriously, wouldn’t it be better for our country, that the work go to 12 year girls in West Virginia than to kids in Bangladesh? These girls would be much less likely to manufacture Meth or make babies if they’re working a 13-hour shift. Plus those girls now have the opportunity to work their way up to being a floor manager. That’s right, here in America; the exploited can work their way up the food chain and one-day hope to exploit others. From the late 1800’s to the early 1900’s, the sweatshops of the good old US of A, rivaled any sweatshop in the World. When was our country the most economically potent? When we had a bunch of poor people (immigrant or otherwise) that made up an eager workforce that wasn’t afraid of working hard for 10 hours a day, 7 days a week for meager wages. Then we went soft. And it didn’t start with the Unions, the long slow descent started with Henry Ford. In January 1914, Ford startled the world by announcing that his company would pay $5 a day to its workers. The pay increase would be accompanied by a shorter workday (from nine to eight hours). This move more than doubled the average autoworker's wage and started the socialist attack on the American way of life, a moral framework dependent on exploiting people to the point where they will risk life and limb to make a living wage. In early 1900’s we had more fatal mining accidents than any other country in the World. In the year 2011, who leads the World in mining accidents? China. And who is literally eating our lunch? China, a coincidence, I don’t think so. No pain, no gain, just ask Larry Kudlow. If we’re going to be a Capitalist society we have to stop being half assed about it. We begin by repealing all environmental and labor laws and unleashing the beast that is American business. Once we were the pirates of the business world and now we’re a bunch quivering old women going “Oh the Chinese”. Fuck the Chinese. If those inbred Wall Street pussies would get their heads out their own asses, the real businessmen of the US would bury the Chinese, literally.
It’s time for America to walk it, like it talks it, Brother Gregory
