There are no stupid letters, only stupid people who write letters. Cindy Clark of Smithville provides this week's gem.
Corporations winning
Attention tea partiers and all you lovely loyal Republicans. Thank you from all the corporations in our country.
We love that you’re so easily blinded by flags waving in your faces and rhetoric such as, “Take our country back,” that you are happy to surrender your best interests so that corporations may prosper. Big business is going to enjoy that big tax break you’re willing to give wealthy people.
Corporations are glad they convinced you that you don’t want health care reform. Big businesses also are pretty tickled that they’ve done such a good job convincing you that unions are bad. Those guys and their safety concerns and silly ideas of treating people fairly in the workplace were really getting on corporate nerves.
Big businesses kind of snicker amongst themselves when they lay more and more people off and watch those who are left scurry around to carry the work load.
Corporations have sure got you scared don’t they? Oh, if they had eyes, corporations would be wiping away tears from laughing. They’re pretty close to owning this country. Don’t let it stop now. Keep voting Republican.

At least I can agree with her last line, "Keep voting Republican. Thanks Cindy for the clue. Maybe you should get one too.
I find it difficult to understand how someone can wish bad things to happen to American corporations. Most of us work for one, and we prosper when our employer prospers. We suffer when our employer does. Cindy doesn't agree, so I hope that her employer pays more taxes and lay off more people. That will make Cindy happy.

You made me chuckle with this one. Especially the "Thanks Cindy for the clue. Maybe you should get one too." Her letter makes me really curious about where she works and what she does for a living. I'd guess she hails from a family with a long history of union dues.
ReplyDeleteIt's challenging to me to understand the perspective of the "evil" corporation, at least in terms of seeing the punishing of corporations as somehow being good for the average American, as Cindy here seems to see it. I fail to see the logic that a less profitable corporation will suddenly bestow greater rewards on their workers. Seems some think that a guaranteed pay level and benefits just magically gets covered somehow. Go ask the former Eastern Airlines employees about that one.
