This is the kind of crap that drives me nuts. The race to the bottom ends in only one place: the bottom. How is this so hard to understand? I say fine, if you want to be a foreign company, then fine, go away. But we should have laws that make it impossible to be American, in any way, shape or form.

The Voters Have SPOKEN!!
Yeah, I suppose they have. But what did they say?
I think they said they are the most impatient people on earth.
They said Jobs! They said Debt! They said Pelosi! They said Birth Certificate!
Let's face it: in the age of the internet, we expect everything, right fucking NOW!
The mess this country is in is the result of thirty years of impatient voters. It took a while, but we finally hit the end-around.
We, the voters, of the voters, by the voters, for the voters, have created quite a fucking mess.
We demand satisfaction...YESTERDAY!!!
We may be speaking in tongues, but you politicians better understand......
Sound familiar? Of course not....
Even when we don't know what we want, we want that shit in our inbox.
So what do we want?
So what do we want?
So what do we want?
Exactly...
Tax cuts!!
That's it!
Sure, the Tea Baggers talk about exploding deficits and China and Japan owning us, but that is very old news. Tea Baggers never gave a shit about exploding deficits when GWB was president, did they?
The Tea Baggers talk about illegal--ILLEGAL-- immigration, but history has shown us that conservatives have the most to gain from cheap immigrant labor. Business benefits when cheap labor is used. Can anyone say outsourcing?
Can Tea Baggers? Apparently not.
So that leaves us with tax cuts. And we will conveniently ignore the fact that tax cuts blow up the deficit, even if the Tea Baggers can't. Let's play best case scenario, and pretend that tax cuts pay for themselves--HE HE--and lets pretend to feign sympathy for those poor, rich billionaires. That extra three percent federal tax is going to put them in the poor house.
Please, you Tea baggers, pause and think of the billionaires, and their plight. They used to have fifteen billion in the bank, but now the poor bugger only has fourteen billion, five hundred fifty million. Those poor, poor Americans. Shit, now there's no money to provide jobs for Tea Baggers.
Thank God the elections cleared a path for the rich. Hey, the rest of us may wallow and pant, but at least we have a Dream Team of Americans that can relocate their factories overseas, and fleece the world with their financial schemes. So what if those Tea Bagger's pensions wash down the drain. This election was about principles, Goddammit!!
Well, at the end of the day, apparently, the Republicans have two years to clean up this mess and give every able-bodied American a high paying job, with ultra low taxes, AND eliminate the deficit. Also, they must make sure every American has health care and make sure John Boehner keeps his tan and a full pack of smokes.
Two years. That's it. If they can't accomplish all of this in two years, well, then they must admit defeat, and promise President Obama that they will go back to their respective law firms and work pro bono.
As far as the Tea Baggers go, they must head to India, Vietnam, and China and make widgets for 65 cents an hour, sixteen hours a day, if their Republican martyrs fail in their duties. At least then, they will live the true, American dream.
