LET'S TALK ABOUT "YOUR" JOBS |
LET'S TALK ABOUT "YOUR" JOBS
Jobs .. and the economy. Those seem to be the issues that are driving
many, if not most, of those who are supporting the Kerry candidacy.
First of all ... I'm going to repeat this simply because it makes the
liberal whiners so unbelievably angry. Listen up. They're not your
jobs! The jobs belong to the employers .. not to you! You have job
skills and, presumably, a willingness to work. Your task in a free
economy is to get out there and find some employer with a job who
needs your skills ... and strike a deal.
If you do not have the particular set of job skills that an employer
needs, or if you have priced your labor out of the marketplace, guess
what? It's not the employer's fault. The fault lies with you. Either
develop a new set of job skills that are actually in demand, or adjust
your pricing. The employer knows what he's looking for. If you're not
it .. it's your problem, not his.
Now ... you say you're going to vote for a Democrat this year because
of jobs? You mean to tell me that you're going to vote against George
Bush this year because you don't have a set of job skills that are in
demand in our free marketplace? Yeah .. that makes a lot of sense,
doesn't it?
Tell me. Just what do you want the president to do? You information
technology people out there .. just what are you demanding? Do you
want companies to stop outsourcing IT jobs to India? OK ... tell me
how to do that. These companies aren't shipping parts overseas and
completed products back. All they do is ship information overseas by
phone lines or the Internet. Then that information is modified and
shipped back the same way. What do you want the government .. the
president to do? Do you want some federal law that prohibits companies
from transmitting information overseas by the Internet, having that
information transformed or modified, and then shipped back? And tell
me just how do you enforce that law? Does that law then apply to you
also if you seek information from a company that is located overseas,
thus depriving a domestic company of your business?
Ditto for manufacturing. I've already told you the story about the
California company that makes computer mouses. (computer mice?) This
company ships the components to China. The mouse is assembled in
China and shipped back, then sold for around $40. Why? Because the
assembly is cheaper in China than it would be in the US. So, you say
you want the president to force this company to have that mouse
assembled in the US? Fine .. then the price for the mouse goes up to
about $70 a pop and sales drop. As the sales drop the jobs of the
people in this country who manufacture the components for that mouse
go away. Then the 100 marketing jobs this company supports in
California also go away. You see, perhaps you can succeed in forcing
this company to assemble these mouses in the US, but there just isn't
any way you can force the American consumer to pay 80% more for the
"made in America" version.
As Bruce Bartlett says in a recent article, "No nation has ever gotten
rich by forcing its citizens to pay more for domestic goods and
services that could have been procured more cheaply abroad."
What we are seeing here is a demonstration of the "government owes me"
mentality of far too many liberal Americans. Every time you liberals
arrive at a speed bump in your life's journey you start screaming to
the government for help. Sure, the speed bump is going to slow you
down a bit ... but just keep moving forward and things inevitably pick
up speed again. American liberals are becoming helpless whiners. The
more helpless you are, and the more you liberals whine, the more
likely it is you're going to vote for a Democrat. Democrats
specialize in stroking the liberal malcontents.
Congratulations, liberal whiners. At a time when America is fighting
World War IV, the war against Islamic terrorism ... you're going to
vote for a candidate who wants to treat terrorism as a freaking law
enforcement problem because you've made some pitiful jobs choices.
Pitiful.

are mean, vicious, hateful, greedy, cold-hearted, closed-minded,
selfish, intolerant, bigoted and racist.

LET'S TALK ABOUT "YOUR" JOBS
What about my job? You mean the one I had when Clinton was president, the
one that was eliminated for financial reasons when Bush took over? That job?

Rather than whining, get off your ***** and go out and create a few jobs for
yourself and some employees. Make the world happen your way. Or continue
your whining, and end up with a begging sign at the freeway on ramp.
