It's imbecile.

I personally have always respected and appreciated the work unsung people do, from the CEO to the person who washes the toilets.<br /><br />But I'm sick and tired to the point of yelling at the teevee with the manipulation going on here. That people can actually FALL for this "garbage" is nauseating. <br /><br />There was a time when people who did these jobs--and other jobs that are professional--were not paid well. That time is NOT now. Unions have served their purpose in driving up wages and benefits for teachers, garbage workers, federal and state employees--to the point that we can no longer afford to keep them. They always want more; enough is never enough.<br /><br />It has to stop somewhere, and for this buffoon to be looking sad eyed into the camera complaining that some rich guy on his route doesn't appreciate the quality of the work he does makes me sick.<br /><br />Dear God, when did we get to the point in this country where we needed somebody to hold our hands and cry with us just because we need some time to feel sorry for ourselves, sitting alone in the corner weepy and weak.<br /><br />Bleh.Tea Party at Perrysburghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14027340628609336662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5984350225136093307.post-1468198983497924512012-10-02T17:05:34.398-04:002012-10-02T17:05:34.398-04:00“During my campaign for governor, I decided to spe...“During my campaign for governor, I decided to spend a day every few weeks doing the jobs of other people in Massachusetts. Among other jobs, I cooked sausages at Fenway Park, worked on asphalt paving crew, stacked bales of hay on a farm, volunteered in an emergency room, served food at a nursing home, and worked as a child-care assistant. I’m often asked which was the hardest job – it’s child care, by a mile.”<br /><br />“One day I gathered trash as a garbage collector. I stood on that little platform at the back of the truck, holding on as the driver navigated his way through the narrow streets of Boston. As we pulled up to traffic lights, I noticed that the shoppers and businesspeople who were standing only a few feet from me didn’t even see me. It was as if I was invisible. Perhaps it was because a lot of us don’t think garbage men are worthy of notice; I disagree – anyone who works that hard deserves our respect.
