When the above statement is later followed by:
Don't whine if the first people in the crosshairs happen to be yourselves.
You get the John F'n Kerry Flip-Flop Award.
None of you have the brass to go out there in front of a live audience and risk your neck to tell them how good it is for them to be replaced by people you can get to work for subpoverty wages in another country because you don't want to pay US wages but you want US profits.
Yeah, I would. I'd tell them that if they want an $80,000-a-year paycheck, they'd better EARN an $80,000 a year paycheck.
Ya'll wouldn't dare spit this crap to a crowd of 10,000 UAW workers cause you'd need police protection or an ambulance to get out of there.
If that's the case, you're right, I wouldn't say it to their faces.
I also wouldn't employ them under ANY circumstances, even if offshoring was completely illegal.
I'd just blow up my factory and pack up for Galt's Gulch.
Not a threat, just a statement of fact. So if it blows up into revolution, you guys are the ones working at inciting it.
Yup, not a threat. Just demanding money from me in exchange for not engaging in violence against me.
You must be in the "protection" business.
Don't whine if the first people in the crosshairs happen to be yourselves.
You sound like you adhere to a religion of peace.
If you can dish it out, you better be well prepared to take it - when you ruin people on the scale you're doing and intend to keep on doing, they're going to want their pound of flesh.
Ah, yes. "Give me the money I think I deserve or else I'll kill you."
You want my money, punk?
MOLON LABE!
