If I hear one more Republican official tell me that a tax on citizens with incomes over $1 million is a disincentive for the "job creators" in our society... If you happen to be in the car next to me at the traffic light you may be entertained by a man beating up his car. You may even be able to hear me (though it is winter and the windows are up) as I scream my frustration.
The people that our GOP friends are talking about are the same people who have systematically exported jobs for the past 20 years. Oh, maybe the jobs they're talking about are the au pair, housekeeper, driver, personal assistant, trainer, lawn care positions they've advertised recently. Probably not though because those are usually filled through the undocumented pipeline.
What really drives me crazy is that apparently We, the People, are simple-minded enough to buy this. There is no other way that they could have received enough votes.
Friends, when someone is telling you that you should be afraid of "illegals" taking your job and that the investment bankers, financiers and CEOs of multinational corporations have your back, you should turn and run. Give your support and your vote to the other guy.
Communication today is hampered by two conflicting tendencies. One is an increasing "fog factor" and the other is decreasing attention spans. Short declarative sentences or questions using words of three or fewer syllables should be able to get us by regardless of the subject at hand.
About Me
- Mike
- I have worked in health care information management for more than 13 years. I have been a patient of many physicians for much longer. I have found most physicians to be devoted and conscientious but captive to systems and processes that they often don't even think about. We could all benefit from better communication. I'm on LinkedIn (http://www.linkedin.com/in/mpmeier)
