I knew it would happen. I hoped fervently that it wouldn't, but when it came time, the Republicans just had to show the world exactly where their loyalties lay. And it certainly isn't with the workers who keep the factories, banks and other facilities running.
Well, why would it be? First of all, we're a dime a dozen to them. If we refuse to work, or demand a paycheck that reflects our contribution, well, they'll just hire someone with less gall, maybe send the factory or whatever to another country.
Secondly, we can't line their pockets with lots of folding green stuff. How can they get re-elected without plenty of that?
And suddenly, to do anything to show that we are unhappy with the way things are going at this point – for instance, to protest on Wall Street – is to be un-American! Apparently, the only American way to think is the Republican way!
The only thing I can hope for is that they over-play their hand so badly that others begin to see them the way they really are, too.
