One really stupid political ad...
« on: October 02, 2012, 12:43:07 PM »
   Here's a fellow who has a decent job and he is still whining..see 1 minute video...

   Poor little fellow only makes  $70K per year..

   I don't know about you, but I have worked a lot harder for a lot less!  I worked in a brickyard many years ago..sorting, blending and carrying bricks in tongs..for a lot less money than that.  I also worked making concrete staves and building silos for farmers.  On that job, while making staves it was engineer calculated that each man moved 250 ft tons per day..   Again; for a lot less money.
  ...And yes; my body is paying for it, but that's no fault of the customer..
  Did we have customers come along and mop our brow, shake our hand and give us ice tea?  No. Our brick customers never even knew we existed..but I'm a big boy and can take that.
  When we built silos, some of the farmers gave us iced tea, most were cordial..and a few were old skunks.  No difference; it wasn't the customer's job to cozy up to us nor thank us..he was paying good money for his silo...
 
   I really don't believe this guy is a "cry baby"..I think the union has persuaded him to be a simpering, whimpering kiddo.
If you don't want the truth, don't ask me.  If you want something sugar coated...go eat a donut !  (anon)
