American Workers Voted For Crap Jobs W/Crap Wages Since Reagan.

[TheMastersNemesis]

Working class voters and even the poor voted for "crap wages and crap jobs" with and since Reagan. They allowed the corporations to set the memes and agenda. They went along with the anti union anti government memes and supported conservatives and GOP candidates who actually told them they were going to economically fuck them.

Many blue color and was workers as well as many professional fell for the culture and religious wars. They supported tax cuts for the rich and put in GOP candidates who actually negotiated NAFTA and the trade agreements. They supported an put in pro business and anti worker GOPPERS who told them so if they really listened.

I watched elections closely for years and GOPPERS who hated labor and government kept winning. Even the poorest of the poor voted GOP because the hated government programs or fear a brown person was getting their shitty job.

Sure Bill Clinton helped the GOP as did some conservative Democrats. But the electorate told them they could NOT win without going the right. Clinton calculated that he could not win unless he became a Republicrat on issues and compromised with the devil GOP.

We are where we are because so many voters accepted GOP racism, bigotry and nut case religiosity.

So stay anti union, anti worker, anti labor and anti federal labor legislation and it will only get worse. Vote for Trump, Cruz or any other GOP complete POS asshole. Cold tar and feathers are all that GOP candidates deserve and their dick head supporters are not better.

1. And we want more. Uber jobs are awesome! It's all about the gig economy!

Americans = fucking idiots

[TheMastersNemesis]

2. Uber Is The Future. Get Your Job Temp Contract.

Uber is the model for ALL jobs eventually. Only contract or Uber jobs will be available in the fire. Even Mr. Reich is predicting that in the next 10 years 50% of the jobs will be Uber or "task rabbit" jobs. Right now some stats indicate that 40% already are.

In fact full time jobs are disappearing like some endangered species.

18. Stick a fork in it!

Devestating!

Uber and Lyft drivers in San Francisco will have to register for a business permit if they want to continue earning money from giving and sharing rides. City Treasurer Jose Cisneros has begun sending out letters to 37,018 drivers in the city letting them know of the new requirement, according to SFGate. It's unclear how Cisneros got a hold of their names and why he's suddenly decided to enforce a new rule. But SFGate notes that the city is basically telling the companies that if they refuse to recognize their drivers as employees, then they have to require them to get business permits as contractors. Also, if every driver applies for one, which costs $91 a year for those who make $100,000 or less in gross receipts, then the city will make $3.37 million a year.

3. It's because they thought that if they supported

the party that helps corporations, they wouldn't lose their jobs, it was a tacit agreement. Too late we noticed that both parties represented the corporations and not us. Now we are fucked.

4. How did Americans get so stupid anyway?

[TheMastersNemesis]

5. Got Me On That. Reagan Presaged What We Have Early In His First Term.

He said that we would have a "service economy". And the is what he and the GOP has delivered along with their business and super rich allies. Most workers went along and supported his anti union anti government rhetoric.

[world wide wally]

6. So, we collectively decided we want only what is best for the richest people I guess

Fuck us


I just don't get it

14. I beat my head against the wall every day asking myself this question.

19. 401K

Everyone bought in to the GOP's war on pensions and Social Security. Democrats are more interested in "Obama's stock market" than the slow trickle down of jobs.

7. Panem et Circenses.

The Roman proletarian was stupidified by "bread and games" and the same is true of Americans.

[Angel Martin]

8. they voted for something different

in 1992, and got NAFTA anyway.

[TheMastersNemesis]

9. That Was Clinton's Huge Mistake. I Do Not Understand Why He Did It.

Bush and the GOP negotiated that deal. Clinton ran against it then helped get it passed despite Democratic opposition in the House.
Add favored nation status, Telecommunications Act 1996, & welfare "deform", and we end up where we are. If I saw him personally I would really piss him off by confronting him for such 'dumbass moves". Add the Lewinsky mess which was really really stupid.

I just do not understand it. If he was trying to get along with those GOP pricks it really served him well.

10. That is something we can all agree on.

Reagan was the first stop in this shit ride.

[1939]

13. Reagan was a reaction to the 1970s

Economically, the 1970s Nixon-Ford-Carter years were pretty bad with rolling recessions, virulent inflation, unemployment, and high interest rates. People voted self-interest.

[Rex]

15. And then Reagan made everything 10 times worse.

I hear some Reagan Dem fools are going to vote for Trump...what total losers right?

[1939]

16. Yeah, real losers

and calling them that (and knuckle draggers) may be why they don't come home and we no longer have two-thirds of the House and Senate.

[Rex]

17. No, sadly they are assholes that vote for the republican party and have been for 30 years.

Why won't they fuck off? Just become republicans already. Cowardly shits if you ask me.

[bobGandolf]

11. Amazing how well the Republicans turned the working poor...

into an anti-union, anti-worker, and anti-labor group.

[Katashi_itto]

12. Expect things to remain the same if you vote Clinton too.

[DavidDvorkin]

20. They were voting for slogans

That's usually the case. Then they're surprised by the consequences of their vote.
