Bush economics just screwed me & my fellow workers
My companies profits are up 123,000,000 from the previous fiscal year. We are not unionized and everyone's overtime & weekend pay just got cut so my salary is going down 12%. This is the third consecutive year with no raise. I am among the hardest working and most reliable employees they have. I even worked christmas day.

Fuck Bush and the corporate fat cats.

My family is still ok but I sincerely wish the worst for these bastards.

2. The alternative to class warfare
is class rape.
Unionize if possible. Sounds like you're ripe for it.

5. you're WORKING? ha ha ha ha ha. sucka!
you should be letting your MONEY work for you, silly!

that's the way to get rich in america. just invest a few million dollars and even a measy 5% return would earn more than all your hard labor.

you must not be investing your million because you're a liberal or something and are trying to sabotage the economy.

:sarcasm:

6. ugh that's disgusting
I hope they are ashamed. My company wastes money like you wouldn't believe on garbage that only annoys employees and serves no other apparent function. We can't afford raises anymore, but we seem to be able to afford limo rides all over the damn place, fancy gifts and huge bonuses for the higher-ups. It's just sickening.

9. You really need to get unionized...
If you want change, find some like minded people and get a union started. Collective bargaining is your best bet.
