Listen to right-wing nuts and you hear a different tale. President Obama raised their ire last week when he shook hands with Raul Castro. Fox News (Motto: “If President Obama Did It, Said It, Dreamed About It, Or Didn’t Do It, It Must Be Bad”) jumped the story like a mugger snatching a purse.
One Republican called the handshake “nauseating.” John McCain compared it to Neville Chamberlain shaking hands with Hitler. Right-wingers lapped the stupidity up.
media proceeded to show many republican presidents shaking hands with the unscrupulous leaders also
Still, if Obama shook Castro’s hand, he didn’t grease it. Greasing communist hands is a staple of American business today.
Capitalists love communism!
Look at recent news. Capitalists love communism! Consider JPMorgan. This pillar of Wall Street is under investigation for hiring sons and daughters of Chinese communist leaders in hopes they will steer business JPMorgan’s way. Internal documents indicate that the company may have given high-paying positions to 30 individuals with close ties to communist officials. This includes the daughter of the deputy minister of propaganda.Right-wingers often conflate liberalism and communism. What these poor deluded souls fail to notice is the symbiosis of American business and communist interests. China is a perfect model for American big business in 2013.Hate the minimum wage? Charles Koch does. Just set up a few factories in China where workers are paid the minimum or way, way less! According to the Economic Policy Institute the United States lost 2.8 million jobs to China from 2001 to 2010. Why do companies like Apple love doing business there?According to the Huffington Post the average American factory worker earns a little more than $23 per hour. A Chinese factory worker earns $1.36—and averages 12 hours of labor a day.
i guess it's easy to go in so many directions when you don't know where you've been or are going with. republicans often leap before looking and don't by their own words need fact checkers telling them how to run their campaigns, it's that arrogance that leaves them all too often with green eggs on their faces.
and also why the refer to Dems as communist remember Bachmann,
What else do capitalists love about China? Safety regulations are lax. And don’t all right-wingers know safety regulations strangle business growth! The “good news” is this. Compared to American workers, the Chinese are four times as likely to be killed on the job. In fact, 21 Chinese miners were killed this week. Even Fox News noted that Chinese mines are “the deadliest in the world and suffer frequent explosions, floods and cave-ins.”
Chinese leaders are a Marxist version of America’s Top 1%.
How much do capitalists love communism? Let us count the ways! Environmental regulations in China are weak. Companies foul the air and dump toxic wastes in rivers and no one lifts a finger to stop them. A reporter noted recently that “the smog can be thick enough to render [buildings in Beijing] invisible from only a few blocks away.” There are no real labor unions, either.Workers are mere pawns in the system. What happens if they protest? The government is happy to arrest them. Meanwhile, Chinese leaders are a Marxist version of America’s Top 1%. As noted in the New York Times, the family of Chinese Prime Minister Wen Jiabao now controls business assets worth $2.7 billion. That’s chump change to the Koch brothers. Still, not bad for leaders of an abusive regime!
to quote Bill Clinton, "takes alot of brass to acuse someone of what you do", quoting myself "they do the dirt then try to sweep it on the Pres.'s shoes". their base will dismiss this as a left wing attempt to smear those who hold their salvation just don't realize it's the rope they hold and it's around their own necks.
