I read something this morning, that REALLY pissed me off!

Now, maybe I'm a dumb ass or not of the gifted sort, but I

read, that companies are now asking to see proof of any

campaign contributions one makes, before hiring. I realize,

businesses have been giving quasi-psyche tests for years.

Walmart, for instance, requires, massive preemployment,

written and verbal testing, to screen for workers, not of a like

minded ilk and/or union sympathizers. But now, companies

are screening our political affiliations. This is a steaming pile

of it! Doesn't this violate some kind of privacy law or

something!

So, 40% of The American People get a job. And if, you're

a Democrat, Independent, Unionist, Socialist, Communist,

Leftist, Anarchist, Nudist, Atheist or Rebel, hit the bricks,

Charlie. I've got news for you, corporate america, the people

you are excluding from your organizations, are the thinkers,

the doers, the educators, the bull headed, tenacious,

purveyors of determination, that get the hard and difficult

things done, when nobody else can or will. The people that

move our country forward, when most, are satisfied with the

status quo. When most are too tired, too broken, or have just

given up, trying to make a difference.

Why? Because your businesses suck every last ounce of

dignity and pride from their bones, leaving nothing, but a

yes man, a slave to the dictates of a mindless automaton.

That entity, that you have decided is a person...the

corporations. Mind you, not all corporations are mindless,

blood sucking vermin, but the majority have a mindset of,

"your either with us or against us, don't rock the boat, or the

checks in the mail." And heaven forbid, don't think

outside the box.

This is why corporations are usually on the wrong

side of most issues and why progress is so slow.

Take the oil companies, for example. Instead of investing

millions in clean technology, they obstruct and stifle any

and all attempts to switch to alternative sources of energy.

If they had been forward thinking, they would have

got in on the ground floor. But, instead, they restrict and

hamper all initiatives, using lobbyists and bought off

politicians in Washington, to stave off the inevitable. This,

at the price of the nation's health and the environment.

Eventually, costing the taxpayers trillions of dollars and

burdening the U.S. with crippling debt. Commonly

known as Corporate Welfare.

And the thinkers, the doers, the educators, the bull

headed, tenacious, purveyors of determination, that get the

hard and difficult things done, when nobody else can or will,

need a paycheck. They have a family to think about. So, they

bend to will of the corporate entity. Loose the thing that

made them so very special. Loose their uniqueness, or at

the very least, hide it beneath a shell, so no one will know,

no one will see, no one will care...And corporate america,

they win.

God help us, they win...
