Zala posted this in reply to my post: People Are Afraid of Socialism Because… I thought it deserved it’s own post: (I love her definition of GOP – “Greed Over People.”  Made me snicker.) The USA is a fascist country with some socialist government programs. I don’t get why the Teahadists/Teanderthals don’t see that. “Greed… [Read more…]

…or not… My last letter to Congressman Shuster received this reply.  So, is he inundated with email, is his inbox full, have the many thousands of his unemployed constituents decided to email him or…has he blocked email from google? Any one of those scenarios is possible. Stay tuned for further updates:       This… [Read more…]

…of the Marxist tradition of socialism following capitalism into communism.  I dunno – is Sweden a communist country?  Not last time I looked.   so·cial·ism [soh-shuh-liz-uhm] noun 1. a theory or system of social organization  that advocates the vesting of the ownership and control of the means of production and distribution, of capital, land, etc., in the community as a whole. Right now, I think I’m probably a pretty big proponent of socialism, practiced for the good of all.   It’s been successfully practiced… [Read more…]

Read this post Company Hiring Practices.  This guy is right on the money.  Fascism here we are (I’d say “here we come” but we’re here already).  How long before they herd all us undesirables into “work camps?”   That’s not sarcasm or a joke.  It could very well be a reality where all of us… [Read more…]

…have to show proof that we’ve been searching for work in order to maintain our benefits, but bloody Corporate America doesn’t have to show proof that they are doing the very best they can do to lower the unemployment numbers by interviewing and hiring us?

I’ve sent you three letters, and I clicked the little box that said “wants reply.”  It’s been more than a week and you’re awfully quiet.  What – was I too bold?  Did I use verbiage that cracked your glass house a bit and now you’re doing damage control?  Or is it as I believe –… [Read more…]

Here’s the link:  Trapped in Unemployment.  Mr. Carbone, you chose the perfect word to describe what’s happening out there.  Corporate America has and is causing carnage in what used to be the greatest country in the world.

…I heard from someone who has never been unemployed in his life and who is a successful businessman that as a “hiring employer” he doesn’t want to hear from a candidate that they are accepting “government assistance” if they are currently unemployed.  He won’t hire someone who says they are on unemployment.  He stated that… [Read more…]
