Louis Blessing, R-Cincinnati, to state workers, "Be glad you have a job." as SB5 passes Ohio House.

[upstatecajun]

Asked about concerns from workers that they will see pay cuts under the bill, particularly with local governments and schools facing major state budget cuts over the next two years, Rep. Louis Blessing, R-Cincinnati, said it's better than layoffs.

"They shouldn't be concerned about their level of pay," he said. "They should be concerned about the fact that they have a job. We've got 10 percent of people without jobs. Be glad you have a job.

5. Oh Louis, if only the halcyon days of slavery could be brought back, huh?

It's such a burden for you, these obliges visited upon your noblesse head. Those ungrateful proles would be singing a far different tune if you had your way, wouldn't they? The tunes they sang outside the shacks after the sun went down! Weren't those the days? Some evenings you could hear the mournful lilt of "Swing Low Sweet Chariot" as you oiled your bullwhip and grin as you contemplated its application to some uppity backs. Oh, wouldn't they be glad indeed.
