Anything that goes wrong in American business is never the fault of the people at the top--like Rick Wagoner at GM--but always the fault of the workers in their thirst and quest for good wages, benefits and pensions.

That's the new spin coming out of the right-wing these days. The trouble the American car industry is in has nothing to do with the CEOs who run these companies, but the greedy, lazy workers who want nothing but a free ride.

According to the right, American workers can eat shit, and who cares if GM goes down and 2 million people hit the unemployment lines.

Never mind the rich had their eight year orgy of cash. Now, they want to know why the American people think they should take responsibility for what’s happened?

The American people have paid for it with 28 years of bullshit trickle down economics, deregulation, and and ass kicking tax cuts for the rich that is now coming back to smash the country in the face.

Now the right-wing’s new spin: blame everything on the unions and the working class. They’re responsible for getting into bad loans, they’re responsible for the trouble with American car makers; it’s their fault.

Translation: it’s all your fault.

And when Obama doesn’t turn things around fast enough it will be his fault. Never mind the fact Obama doesn’t take over until January 20th, the right-wing ding dongs of talk radio are trying to palm off the bullshit the recession happened because a tax and spend Liberal like Obama was elected to office!

The only thing I can say to the right wing is fuck off. We’re in this shape because you, and a handful of Democrats and greedy CEOs put us here.

If the right wing took a good look in the mirror they wouldn’t see us, they’d see George W. Bush, Ronald Regan and the mess they’ve put this country in.

Not a pretty sight is it, huh?
