The Republican Party's plan: "FIGHT FOR YOUR JOB CREATORS! LET THE BLOOD FLOW!"

“I realize that many people in this area and elsewhere would love to have my job or my benefits,” one worker explained. “And our bosses do not hesitate in reminding us of this. However, I can not agree with these callers and my supervisors, who are saying that just because you have a good job, that you should have to work any day for free on almost no notice without your consent.”

So the rich get tax cuts and government subsidies and no estate tax. What about us? What does the rest of the country get with the Republican Party?

Slashed safety net
Eliminated protections when it comes to hiring and keeping your job
If you get into debt that could become in itself a hindrance to getting a job as the Republicans place value on looking at one's credit when it comes to hiring
If you are unemployed, don't bother applying to certain places as they don't even want unemployed people

It's kind of hard to not picture the Republicans and their 'job creator' allies wanting Americans to struggle and fight against each other for a minimum wage job and then being cutthroat and ruthless in order to protect said minimum wage job... And if you don't want to fight against your fellow Americans and if you don't want to be cutthroat and ruthless, then being in poverty is the only answer and don't expect to get out of that poverty because it's harder to get a job if you are in debt and if you are not currently employed.

So what's the best way to summarize the Republican plan?
Moral Majority Kombat?
Unemploymentdome?
Job-Seeking American Gladiators?
Grand Theft America?

Hey, why not just bring back the Coliseum? That would prove to 'job creators' who really wants their minimum wage jobs and think of the advertising revenue Fox News could get.

Your Move…

Your move America – freedom’s on the block
Make your move decisively or just sit out the clock
There’s rewards either way, you see, of one sort or another
Conduct yourself accordingly to reap the one you’d druther

Throw up your hands frustratedly, feign apathy and doubt
Let the monied have their way – they plan to lock you out
The post-win sellabration - they will put on with glee
Just don’t look for an invite – not one for you or me.

The Bill of Rights – the Constitution – could wind up on the floor
Simple boot-wipes they will be for those who just want more
Your rights, your voice, your concerns, your thoughts they might behoove
Roll the dice America – it’s time to make your move
