When the right or libertarians(who are nothing but republicans on steroids) start talking about hire prices and cutting jobs, that is nothing but fucking blackmail. They use this to get us to ignore the pay gap which is the real problem. The lopsided nature between the top and bottom is worst in America. It allows the top to keep slave wage workers and it does make them money. But for the middle class and working poor it simply makes things worse.
You cannot find anywhere else in westernized nations the same size gap America has.
Blackmail?

Sounds like you are the one trying to blackmail.

Because protecting the fucking business community is all that republicunts ever want to do. Well, what do you expect. It's fucking Oklahoma.
Politicians have a vested interest in protecting the business community because that is where large swaths of tax revenue come.
Anyone defending the Koch brothers or Walmart makes me laugh and want to puke at the same time. These fuckwads would have society believe that an unemployed former dishwasher has more money to pump into politics than a billionaire.
They may live on a planet, but certainly not this one.
Oh and for the ignorant fuckwad trying to claim the poor are blackmailing the rich because of my Gaddaffi reference. No. Doesn't wash. Billionaire Nick Hanour who is NOT Gaddaffi AGREES with me that you cant keep fucking over the middle class and working poor over wages.
BILLIONAIRE NICK HANOUR " MORE MONEY IN THE POCKETS OF WORKERS IS A WIN WIN FOR BOTH THE WORKERS AND BUSINESS".
I just watched this gun on MSNBC, GASP! A billionaire on MSNBC. Say that the reason rich people are so deluded, is because it is a EGO ISSUE, A POWER ISSUE, A STATUS ISSUE. Now that is not a poor person saying that but a BILLIONAIRE.
So basically you have a billionaire calling his own a BUNCH OF FUCKING CRYBABIES!
Hubris is what the Koch brothers and Walmart suffer from and what the oil companies suffer from.
