Working Stiffs

In a post about unemployment, Freepers provide their unique perspective on unemployment.

yldstrk is unemployed, cause Obama is persecuting him.

There are two Americas. In more ways than one. A majority of the employed these days are working for some Democratically influenced company.

Many of the affluent without jobs worked for Republican influenced concerns. Now there is a litmus test—do you support the administration? If so, move ahead. If not, get off the train.

Then the employed say ugly things to the unemployed who have perhaps applied for job after job only to hear nothing, like “get a job” or “you are a puke”.

Le Chien Rouge, on the other hand, works, and is super pissed at the unemployed wellfare queens he sees everywhere.

As one of the proud members of the ‘working stiffs’ of America, I’d like articles like this to add:
1) ‘working stiffs’ who work 40+hrs yet get paid for 32hrs just so company can stay afloat
2) ‘working stiffs’ who eliminated Health Care coverage just to survive
3) ‘working stiffs’ bosses/owners of small business who are NOW using their personal credit cards to keep small business afloat. (This is actually happening)
4) ‘working stiffs’ who pay cash,use coupons and cut items at a grocery store while another group load up on junk,pay with food stamps,drive their Escalade with Obama 2012 stickers to convenient store and purchase lottery tickets, booze, and smokes.(I regularly see this)
5) ‘working stiffs’ whose vacation consist of a Happy Meal for the kids,a ride to the amusement park parking lot, and telling the kids that maybe next year we can afford to actually enter the park.
6) ‘working stiffs’ who watch in the rear view mirror, a very overweight male chowing down on fast food like it’s his last meal, in a car with a handicapped sign, a state issued parking lot sticker, who pulls into his comfy state job and sneers at you for daring to have an anti-Obama bumper sticker on your vehicle.(this actually happened)
..just a little bitter...

GeronL knows economics!

taking money out of the economy and giving it to the unemployed is not a boost the economy, just to the unemployed.

Only rich people participate in the economy, I guess.
