ZOT! Corporate America's president
N/A | 17 Feb 2004 | MuckRakerExpose

Posted on 02/17/2004 5:34:17 PM PST by muckrakerexpose

Under Bush's presidency, Corporate America slashed paychecks that took you years to earn. They have cancelled holidays, including Good Friday -- they are trying to cancel the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, it seems. They have cut sick pay, rewritten family leave laws, cancelled bathroom breaks. It is even beginning to affect civil service professions such as the police force, now requesting to cut their sick pay to only thirteen weeks. Also under Bush's presidency, they have turned reservation offices into assembly line call centers. The union had warned of this but no one listened. We trusted Bush that it would be better, but what happened? Are they doing this working against him or are they doing it for him? In addition to tracking devices on the phone, I would not be surprised if they started building toilets into the computer chairs so we could not even get up. You are now allowed no time in between calls. You cannot even powder your nose without being harassed. Every week there are new slave rules in all of Corporate America and the taking back of every benefit and increase you have earned in the last 25 years. What president sits in office being totally unaware of what is happening to millions of people throughout America? Not to mention the payday loan companies calling a late payment check fraud, using the criminal justice system to lock up working class people on these loans. And the presidential candidates only seem to care about cheap medicine, Social Security, and unemployment, with nobody checking what is happening in the interior of the jobs. There are more of us than there are of them under severe pressure in the workplace. Inside the workplace, the water is so murky it has become black. Have the new politicians no vision of what needs changing, and our freedoms are being taken away every day with not even a mention from them. There is a voice in the wilderness, John Edwards, who seems to care about the working class people, but even he is not fully aware of this problem, affecting every middle-class worker. Can you imagine what is happening to the lower level? They don't even get to eat lunch.

Cancelled Good Friday did they. That would have been under JFK, since it's never been a holiday in my lifetime.

Well, it has mine and still is this year......

I'm still worried about the loss of my bathroom breaks that my employer never told me about!

This letter is from a guy worse off than you.

Thanks to the evil GW he lost his life time job and two son in Iraq.

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to speak my mind. I lost my job this past year. When Clinton was president I was secure and prosperous, but in the last year, we had to close our operations.

We simply could not compete with foreign labor. This foreign labor worked for low pay under very bad conditions.

They worked very long shifts, and many even died on the job.

This competition could hardly be called "fair." I was forced out of the place where I had worked for 34 years.

Not a single government program was there to help me.

How can Bush call himself "compassionate?" Far worse, I lost two of my sons in Bush's evil war in Iraq. They gave their lives for their country, and for what? So that Bush's oil buddies can get rich. My pain of losing my sons is indescribable.

While it is trivial next to the loss of my sons, I regret to say that I also lost my home. I simply have nothing left. How can Bush call himself a Christian when he neglects people like me? I am a senior citizen with various medical problems. I'm not in a position where I can begin a new career. I was reduced to the point where I had to live in a hole in a ground, all because of President Bush.

And when the authorities found me there, did they have any compassion for my misfortune and ailments? No, I was arrested. Mr. Bush, I dare you to look me in the face and tell me you are a compassionate man! I dare you to look me in the face and tell me you are a Christian! If I had any money left, I would donate it to the Democrat Party. I now support Kerry for President.

If Al Gore had been elected in 2000 I would still have a job, a home, and most importantly, my dear sons!

Regards, Saddam Hussein

I stopped reading after "they have cancelled holidays, including Good Friday'. I still have Good Friday as a paid holiday.

Here's what really made my day. My 7:30 Appointment was with a young Vietnamese couple named Duong. They have been over here only a few years and they spoke pretty broken English. We pretty much conducted the sale through sign language...and it became pretty hysterical with me gesturing wildly...and them exchanging glances...probably wondering why they let this crazed Polack in their home.

They bargained pretty hard and very shrewdly...tho I think the cave drawings I drew on their living room wall might have given them cause for concern.

Anyway...after we had concluded our business transaction...I asked them if they would ever go back to Vietnam.

The wife replied in a soft voice..."Oh no..we American now." That reply was worth much more than any commission I made.
