To quote one of those idiots, "The corporations are the real terrorists!"

Really, just by looking, they looked like relatively bright people. But WOW..... I thought the majority of those people looked just short of rabid. These people actually bought every piece of crap the NYT has been foisting off on the general public for some time....they all sounded like Negin....hands out and in the air for more "giveme"....."poor me", those dang "rich corporations" I'm so sick of the left painting corporate America as some sort of evil empire, ..... I could barely watch the whole thing. I'd love to be able to see into the background of all the people they had in that group.

I'm beginning to think the most vociferous complainers are people that work for Govt. Teachers, bus drivers, janitors, aids, lunch room people? I know a few of these types of employees, and they really don't think they make enough money. They don't feel like they get any respect and are under appreciated. They are sick and tired of trying to make the system work and being thwarted by their colleagues at every turn, and so thus just give up and do as little as possible until they retire. They have no incentive to achieve anything great and are slow with little to no motivation. And I don't doubt that other groups of govt employees experience the same things as those in the education field do on a pretty consistent basis. We've all heard how inefficient govt is. For most people, working in an inefficient environment is devastating, and for them, just going in to work and putting in time is all they can do. I imagine when the subject of business and big Oiiiiiiiiiilll is brought up in govt lunch rooms, the discussion centers around how greeeeeeeeeeddddddyyyyyyy they are getting all that money. What they don't realize.....and what those of us who understand do realize.....is that "all that money" is earned (mostly from extremely hard work) profit. These people actually bought every piece of crap the NYT has been foisting off on the general public for some time....they all sounded like Negin....hands out and in the air for more "giveme"....."poor me", those dang "rich corporations" and Oiiiiiiiiiilll too....
