OPPORTUNITY & ENTITLEMENT

“Our contest is not only whether we ourselves shall be free, but whether there shall be left to mankind an asylum on earth for civil and religious liberty” Samuel Adams

No one is entitled to anything except an opportunity

Want to know why your job went to India? The entire concept of diversity training is pure bunk! The idea that one hires people and then has to train them on company time to understand the nuances of the other employee’s culture is pure B.S. The idea that to produce and market a service or a product one has to conduct sensitivity training classes for the employees is hogwash for artistic left brain idiots with misguided and hare-brain ideas that must have originated in Canada.

Any company can hire people from mixed backgrounds and races for whatever position they may be suited and qualified- from working in a grocery store to a management position in a complex manufacturing organization. There are only a few considerations that are of any importance whatsoever; Can the person do the work, do they have the education, do they want the job, is the compensation agreeable to both parties. Nothing else is of any importance at all, period !

Once hired, the employee does as he or she is told. They show up on time and do the work or they get fired ! End of story! The idea that one has to institute special sensitivity training program to make the minorities or religious wackos “feel good” is absurd! For Gods sake, have we all gone completely nuts! Don’t believe it, watch the Trump dump the chumps on the popular TV show “The Apprentice!”

Look, here’s what it is, bro! You get the job, you work, you do the job, you get paid- that’s it! You don’t get to pray five times a day on company time, you don’t get to have babies on company time. You don’t get paid to sit around in feel-good, sob story sensitivity meetings and cry on each others shoulders or take paid days off for non-standard religious holidays. Get it?

Want to know why we are losing jobs to overseas outsourcing? The idiocy above has a lot to do with it. There are other reasons; Why should we give anyone a paid holiday? The idea is stupid. It makes the worker think that he is somehow “entitled” to something for nothing. Nothing is for free. There is no free lunch as they say. If you work 52 weeks and get 2 weeks paid holiday, what do you think? Can you be so naive to believe that you haven’t earned those days off?

Look, the annual pay for the position is based on 50 weeks, you get paid for 50 weeks period. The fact that you receive a paycheck while you’re lying on a beach has no bearing. If you negotiate with your boss, you will generally see that he will be willing to buy back your vacation and, if you work those weeks, you will actually then get paid for 52 weeks. Got it?

Now we give school kids a free lunch and if that isn’t bad enough some schools actually give the little buggers a free breakfast ( and dinner too) . What does this teach them- That they are entitled to a free lunch? No one is “entitled” to anything except a chance, an opportunity to be anything you want- that is America’s promise. Unfortunately, when the ignorant, lazy, poorly motivated lil-nippers finally get kicked out of school after being promoted automatically, regardless of what they have learned, they will find this out! They will enter the work force thinking that they are owed a free lunch and “Bang”, they’re fired for a bad attitude or see their job evaporate, transferred to some starving kid in India who knows dammed well that there is no free anything! Oh well, there’s always swiping hub caps and selling diem bags..!

Employers are beginning to understand that they are chumps to stay in America and see the companies they worked hard to build grow weak and disappear due to foreign competition, forced government programs and un-funded mandates by HUD and EEOC, OSHA, etc., etc., Ad infinitum, ad absurdum, ad nauseaum! (see the cartoon above)

Did you know that there’s an EEOC office in every city and small town in America, Imagine who pays for the 40 or so employees working in each of these messy little government offices? American employers have to fund Social Security, private pension programs, Medicare, withholding taxes, medical insurance (less every year) family leave programs, day care centers, HUD programs, OSHA mandates, Unions, overtime pay and other mandated programs, etc. In general, the cost to employers to cover these additional expenses is about 29% of whatever the employee receives as his annual pay.

If a boss says “good morning” to a female employee while he has a spec of dust in his eye, she sues him for sexual harassment, The employer today, in America, has to have expensive product liability policies and a battery of attorneys just to stay in business and protect himself from his customers and employees. The American manufacturer actually has to tell customers on a big label that they can’t put their cats in their new microwave! One large restaurant chain was successfully sued some time ago for serving hot coffee. Good grief

It is no small wonder that so many employers are opting for Mexico and India. (see our cartoon above) So would you. You pay a guy $2.00 and hour and that’s it- no free lunch, no retirement, no paid holidays, no overtime, no day care centers no handicap ramps and special bathrooms, etc. etc.- a breath of fresh air. Like America in the early great days when this wonderful country was built. A man gets paid what he’s worth and not a penny more! Learn anything? Don’t like it, start your own company meanwhile- quit your bitching and moaning and get back to work!

"Once you have been taxed- the government has your money and it's not yours anymore. In fact it belongs to no one and there is no accountability- they are free to do what they do best, quietly steal it !"
