Fran Drescher knocks capitalism, calls for 'general strike' amid coronavirus shutdown
Fox News ^ | March 25, 2020 | Joseph A. Wulfsohn

Actress Fran Drescher took some shots at capitalism and expressed her support for a "general strike" amid the national shutdown brought upon by the coronavirus outbreak.

The former "Nanny" star took to Twitter on Tuesday and agreed with another Twitter user who blasted the "wealthy owners of capital" who take advantage of labor.

"Of course wealthy owners of capital want labor to return to work. The wealthy have access to testing and treatment. The wealthy won't be left with massive medical debt if they get sick. Labor is being treated as the sacrificial lamb. I say it's time for a #GeneralStrike," the Twitter user said.

"I agree," Drescher responded, sharing the original tweet. "Capitalism has become another word for Ruling Class Elite! When profit is at the expense of all things of true value, we gotta problem."

Better, why do we even care what an actress or actor from any time period has to say about anything.

A "general strike"?

In a lockdown.

"wealthy owners of capital want labor to return to work."

What century is she from?

How can we strike when so few people are working? FD is not going to go down as one of the great minds of history. She’s right up there with Cher, Bette Midler, Kathy Griffin, and Alyssa Milano.

She has, I am assuming, surrendered the (probable) millions of dollars she made as an “actress” to the rank and file proletariat?

Gee Fran, you should be asking Microsoft or Apple or GM or Disney these questions as to why they treated a Third World country with a brutal dictatorship as their goldmine to make and sell their products and avoiding our labour and environmental standards which certainly do not exist there. And that they made the government authority there that more wealthy.

Hey Drescher, did you practice socialism when you had that goofy TV show of yours? Did the makeup artist and the cameraman get the exact same pay as you did?

If so, good for you. If not, just shut up and go away, you hypocrite.
