Then they came for the Jews, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist. Then they came for Catholics, and I didn't speak up because I was a Protestant. Then they came for me, and by that time no one was left to speak up." To put a twist on it. First they outsourced the textile workers and since I wasn't a textile worker, I didn't speak up because I didn't give a damn. Next they started to outsource the auto workers and and since I wasn't an auto worker , I didn't speak up because I didn't give a damn. Next they started to outsource the auto parts builders and and since I wasn't an auto parts builder , I didn't speak up because I didn't give a damn. NOW THEY'RE OUTSOURCING MY WHITE COLLAR $250,000 JOB. MY GOD SOMEONE HAS TO DO SOMETHING. HELP ME HELP ME. BAWAAAAAAAAA.
Apathy on the part of white collar America has created the indifference blue collar America feels towards the loss of white collar jobs. Its a viscous circle that'll continue w/o end, unless ALL Americans start to live by a very simple rule. "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." |
