White guys

Paul Ryan said the other day that we have lost 582,000 manufacturing jobs since President Obama took office. He wants you to believe that the President is responsible for that loss. What he failed to mention is that those jobs got off shored by CEO's that vote for and lobby for laws allowing them to move companies anywhere in the world  to make a profit and try to bring the money back tax free.

Now, if you put on your little thinking bonnets which party promotes laws that encourage companies to do this? Which party wants business to have carte blanch when it comes to world wide manufacturing?

Which party said let the auto industry die? It doesn't take a genius to understand why business wants Romney in office and why they think it will be so easy to delude their followers.

The cold dark heart of greed

And that word entitlement...when i think of the entitled i think of the elite, those who have enough money to do whatever their hearts desire. Those who can buy whatever they want, make demands upon all of us and still want more. i don't think of the homeless person or the person on welfare or food stamps as ever feeling entitled or even thinking they are entitled. When i go into an area of the island where subsidized families live  entitled is the furthest thing from my mind. Who ever turned that picture around was brilliant in taking the focus off the wealthy and putting it on to the poor.
What would an America shaped solely by Republican policy look like? Well according to a diarist who goes by the handle SYWTSAR this is what we have to look forward to.
