So i was eating lunch at my house today when i noticed a new magazine my dad got in the mail. Its called American Prospect. I knew i was in for it as i read the cover, which shows a nice picture of a cartooned Dean winning a race. I got to page 35 at the start of the article "The Low-Wage puzzle" before i really started to gag. The article in a nutshell is preaching about how horrible it is that wages are going down and people are losing jobs because some people in the US will do the same work for less then others. That obviously must be wrong! The communistariffic thing came in the first paragraph. --When America's most recent economic boom ended in 2001, the economy was turning out $7 Trillion worth of consumer goods and services a year- enough to provide every man, worman and child with almost $25,000 worth of food, housing, transportation, medical care and other things every year. If all that stuff had been divided equally(LOL!!!) the typical american household would have gotten 75,000 worth.-- On the back cover the magazine has a picture of a bunch of idiots wearing AFSCME(whatever the hell socialist organization that is) green shirts holding up signs that say "RICH AND POOR SHOULD SHARE THE PAIN!" LOL! If you actually read the article on Dean it actually tries to convince you he will beat Bush, i almost got scared reading this. Until i remembered what i was reading that is. |

Other popular Soviet phrases: "They pretend to pay us, and we pretend to work." In [i]Pravda[/i] there is no [i]Isvestia[/i], in [i]Isvestia[/i] there is no [i]Pravda[/i]. (For those not familiar, Pravda and Isvestia were the two big Soviet newspapers. Their names mean "Truth" and "News." |
