Newt: Poor Children Have "No Habits of Working"

[IronAddict]

IA I used to have a customer from VietNam whose name was Phuq Dong(I was working at the Costco Wholesale Pizza Kitchen when I was about 19). I loved calling out his name over the speaker system:

"Mr fuck! Mr Fuck Dong!! Your order is ready! Fuck Dong!!! your order is ready! I made sure I was close to the mike when I saw him in line...highlight of my working day.

Thanks for reminding me of it.

I can hear this conversation now, dang ma, how come you named me Fuck Dong, don't you like me? I was a newborn, what did I do to you?

really? so we'd be better off without their shopping sprees? remember there's someone all the way down the line who benefits from rich people buying things or spending foolislhy whether it's fine dining, cars, boats, clubs, clothes, etc.....

luxury items like yachts, designer clothing, jewelry, etc. come from manufacturers that employee very few people

these 1% buy products that YOU, the everyday person, makes/assembles/packages/sells, etc....maybe you're right fuck 'em tell them to stop spending their millions and put it in a safe and never touch it......no wonder why you of the claimed 99% are poor.....

The products I help make are bought by far more people than the 1%.

Thinking you are part of the 1% doesn't make you one of the 1%.

Really, or do they import the finest from France, Italy,etc... I don't recall the last time I saw a limo parked out in front of the little mom and pop shops that line the main road by my house. Most of those looked like middle class types to me. Those one percent must be buying everything in bulk to be supporting the consumer market so much....

I guess we should go back to pandering to the richest few and start artisanships to fine craft everything for these big spenders who keep our economy afloat....

in his wildest dreams, he might bump into a 1%..they don't live in the same world as most americans.

the 1%'ers are my people that's the world I grew up in and they don't even spout the bullshit that you hear on main stream media sources that claim to speak for the far right. faux news doesn't even speak for most rich republicans none of my republican friends (90% which are 1%'ers) subscribe to any of the conservative rhetoric, while they are obviously only a sample of that population the northeast is where most of the money in the US is and not many believe any of that crap.

There's that and there aren't many Bentleys made here, either. Anyone know of a Ferrari plant in North America? Must be one of the best kept secrets.

you have to continue down the line....all the pieces of each item are made somewhere, paints, bolts, brackets, license stickers, EVERY little piece that's on a item is made, prossesed, painted, whatever somewhere....

i'm sure you've seen one of those reports that show how may individual jobs go into producing something......usually many companies involved........it's pretty eye opening.....most people don't realize that most products aren't 100% done at just one location......

so i encourage the wealthy to spend......we NEED them to continue to spend...regardless of what they spend it on......

These two (above) usually don't go together. Wealthy and Greed go hand in hand. And greedy usually don't like to spend. It is the 99 % who keep the economy flowing.
