Conservatives Believe in Their Rights - to Oppress Others

It’s disconcerting that the political right seems to be anti worker and anti consumer and think that’s some patriotic act or something.  They put these arbitration clauses in all contracts now where you barter away your right to sue or even a class action suit.  That to me is just wrong.  There ought to be a law that says that NO arbitration contracts can be signed unless you specifically request that a forced arbitration clause be inserted as part of some grand bargain where you actually get something in exchange.  In fact when I took business law, there was such a thing called “consideration” where you don’t just get something for nothing.  If you don’t get anything in return then the contract’s not legal and binding, or at least that part of it.  The right to sue is a constitutionally guaranteed right.  It says so right in it that suits in excess of value of twenty dollars have the right to go to a jury.  Consumers don’t seem to have the right to anything anymore.  On the Thom Hartman show they had that lady substitute.  Cox cable, or I guess it’s Comcast- - wants to charge you for excess data usage over the internet.  People want movies a la carte where you don’t get the hundred dollar cable package of a bunch of channels you don’t want to get the one or two that you do.  In a perfect Shawn Hannity world consumers have no rights and banks can get away with anything they want.  I take exception to Chris Le Boy who didn’t like that caller who reminded us that Barock Obama is the biggest fraud ever to come down the pike as far as his being a progressive is concerned.  OK we got gay marriage and we got the Lilly Ledbetter act, which was supposed to increase women’s pay.  Yet women’s pay is still only 78% of a man’s for the same job.  And you can be fired if you compare your pay with other workers.  That sounds like an unconstitutional abridgement of free speech.  How can they control what you casually say to a co worker or friend?  It’s a little absurd to think you won’t ever find out you’re working for less.  They never discuss issues involving real people and their lives at Republican debates.  Donald Trump propertedly said that people are getting paid too much for their employment.  Why do we, the common people, have to put up with whatever bullshit a bunch of multi-millionaires pull on us, you know, the “Job providers”.   The economy is demand driven.  The correct way of putting it is “If they come, we will build it” and not the other way around- - and any businessman worth his salt will tell you that’s how it is.

Success isn’t being villanized, success is being hoarded and momopolized.  Can Shawn Hannity sit there and honestly say his success is being punished and that because of the taxes he pays he wants to chuck it all and go live ass a hobo on the street panhandling food?  Rush Limbaugh has spent his whole life in radio and works a three hour day and spends most of his time on the golf course anyhow so I doubt he's scarcely notice the difference.  No.  What we democrats want is the goal of people coming to America to begin with and that is a chance at success for all Americans.  Sure for Donald Trump to say "Work hard and you'll get ahead" is sound advice.  And I wouldn't deny the truth of that.  But in case you haven't noticed it's millionaires telling the rest of us to vote Republican if we don't want our success punished, when we're not the ones that have it to begin with.  THEY have it.  They hoard the money on off shore accounts and get bored just buying more mansions and yachts.  What they really love is power and that is they give to people and organizations that will oppress the rest of us.  Paul admitted back in 2004 that he plans to give to groups that sponsor conservative causes.  That translates to taking OUR rights away - - just like that song said in the lyrics.    The tax laws say that you can be sued if you don’t maximize profits by tax code manipulation and throwing employees out into the street and giving their CEO’s fat bonuses.  Norman Goldman says it's an urban myth that they are REQUIRED to be as greedy as possible and only think of profits rather than either their employees, their product and consumer satisfaction, OR their impact on society at large.  Liberals care about the rights of individuals.  Liberals care about the Planet.  Liberals care about the welfare of society at large.  Conservatives don't care about people, only money and power, the power to oppress others.
