Can you believe that? Republicans think the problem is that Americans are lazy?
You don't?
I'm guessing you haven't been outside these borders, have you.

I have both as a union member and not a member. Open shop laws do exist.
- work lessHow Canada stole the American Dream
June 25, 2008
The numbers are in. Compared to the U.S., we work less, live longer, enjoy better health and have more sex. And get this: now we're wealthier too.
..... we live longer and have fewer diseases. We have more sex, more sex partners and we're more adventurous in bed, but we have fewer teen pregnancies and fewer sexually transmitted diseases. We spend more time with family and friends, and more time exploring the world. Even in crime we come out ahead: we're just as prone to break the law, but when we do it, we don't get shot. Most of the time, we don't even go to jail.
...... there's a subset of Americans who are just like Canadians. "Left-wing urban Americans," he says. "Canada is just a country of left-wing urban Americans."

- retire earlier
- wealthier
- less debt
- more holidays
- live longer
- enjoy better health
- more sex
- more sex partners
- more adventurous in bed
- fewer teen pregnancies
- fewer sexually transmitted diseases
- more time with family and friends
- more time exploring the world
- fewer divorces
- less violent crime
Canadians are able to work less, save more and retire earlier than their American counterparts because private wealth is more equitably distributed and not as concentrated in the hands of the 1%.
Working Americans should face the facts that they will never be able to work hard enough to satisfy those "hired guns" representing "Big Business, such as Mitt Romney, Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa), Michele Bachmann, Herman Cain and Sharron Angle.
A wonderful satire. Read the whole thing here:
The Fable of the OWS Grasshoppers - Kathy Fettke - Townhall Finance
Have you heard the new 2012 version of Aesops Fable, The Ant and the Grasshopper?
As you may recall, the original version is about an ant that works hard all summer to build its house and gather food for the winter. The grasshopper pokes fun at the hardworking ant, and chooses to dance and play all summer instead.
Come winter, the ant is warm and well fed. The grasshopper, on the other hand, finds itself without food or shelter, and dies out in the cold.
The moral of this age-old story: Think ahead so you can take care of yourself and your family!
"The Ant and the Grasshopper, also known as The Grasshopper and the Ant (or Ants), is one of Aesop's Fables, providing an ambivalent moral lesson about hard work and foresight."
And secretly telling investors on Wall Street that Fannie and Freddie was solid, and had full faith and credit of the U.S. Gubmint...(where is that credit now)?the republicans also blamed the entire bank mess on regular Americans who tried to buy a house in a market they were told would do NOTHING but go up forever.
Remember how they said it was ALL the fault of people trying to buy too much house?
While democrats turned on the banks after strong arming them.
the republicans also blamed the entire bank mess on regular Americans who tried to buy a house in a market they were told would do NOTHING but go up forever.
Remember how they said it was ALL the fault of people trying to buy too much house?
Mitt Romney: We have been accustomed to being the world’s leading nation for so long, enjoying the freedom, security, and prosperity that comes with that leadership, that we have tended to avoid the hard work that overcoming challenges require.
Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa): We can't have a nation of slackers ...We've gotta get this country back to work and get people out of the slacker rolls and onto the employed rolls.
Michele Bachmann: Our nation needs to stop doing for people what they can and should do for themselves. Self reliance means, if anyone will not work, neither should he eat.
Herman Cain: Don't blame Wall Street, don't blame the big banks. If you don't have a job and you're not rich, blame yourself.
Sharron Angle: And so that's what's happened to us is that we have put in so much entitlement into our government that we really have spoiled our citizenry and said you don't want the jobs that are available.

What a bunch of assholes.

None of those quotes are "America is this or that," they are quotes directed at people like you that somehow have ended up in our country by luck.
Obamination on the otherhand goes around saying "America must do this or that or is doing this wrong." Um, that is insulting the entire nation, not pockets of idiots like you.
Also, he does it overseas in speeches which is even more insulting. Idiots like you don't understand how America is viewed as IT on the planet, so it shocks people overseas to hear the so-called POTUS talk trash about the example they want to be.

You, me, and Charles Krauthammer:
"When you call your own country 'lazy'... I think what you are showing is not tough love, but ill-concealed contempt," Krauthammer said on FOX News' "Special Report."
