Your inability to read a sentence and understand it illustrates the level of rigorous thought you've put into your economic opinions.

Nobody said anything like "Everyone who works for living is a lazy and incompetent slob." Honestly. Read it again if that will help.

I now see your qualifying statement following the first.

I fully support your right to stupid values, and will vote against anyone who wants to impose on you a symbiotic relationship you don't want.

I don't get this at all. An employer does not have a business, at least a large one, without employees. How can there not be an inherently sybiotic relationship? Neither can exist without the other. What makes the employer more important than the work that his employees do? How does the work get done if there are no employees?

Corporations produce cheap "crap" because the "us" wants it.

I disagree. This is what we have been told and now believe. Did people 40 years ago "want" cheap stuff. No. They were interested in quality. Now, we are told that poor quality is all we should accept. Not only that, we are expected to consume so that the stockholders will benefit. Look at Bush's tax rebate last year. When the checks were sent out we were told to spend it to keep the econmy afloat. We were not told to invest it or save it.
