Papantonio: GOP Calls Unemployed Workers “Lazy”
November 7th, 2011. Published under Unemployment. No Comments.
Tom DeLay has lined up an entire cabal of GOP cretins like Rep. Dean Heller from Nevada and Steve King from Iowa, who have expressed their opinion that lazy, shiftless American workers are so thrilled to receive their unemployment checks that they have no incentive to look for work. Its no surprise that Republicans like DeLay were the ones most responsible for moving jobs out of the US to sweatshop havens like Saipan and India. In fact, the little runt actually helped American corporations get tax breaks for outsourcing jobs.

Unemployed Constituents Stand Up to Paul Ryan, Get Arrested.
October 30th, 2011. Published under Unemployment. No Comments.
September 6, 2011. Unemployed constituents, spurned by Paul Ryan on multiple occasions, were galvanized into action the Tuesday following Labor Day. After being unable to convince their representative to schedule a FREE public meeting following a week long sit-in, the members of his district converged on a one time only pay-per-view event far away from the majority of his constituents. At the luncheon, Paul Ryan’s unemployed constituents repeatedly stood to ask him what he was going to do about the jobs crisis. But, instead of addressing his members in need, Ryan had the unemployed escorted out by police and made petty remarks. In one incident, a gentleman in his seventies stood to confront Ryan about his stance on “entitlements” and was grabbed by police. He was then wrestled to the ground while Ryan joked, “Hope he took his blood-pressure medication.” Watch now and visit wisconsinjobsnow.org to demand Ryan hold a REAL meeting with his constituents.

The Average Joe – On UNEMPLOYMENT SOLUTIONS
May 31st, 2011. Published under Tea Party, Unemployment. No Comments.
Joe Carraro discusses the failures of how just funding more unemployment insurance doesn’t fix our unemployment problem, and the government needs to think of new ideas that would benefit both the unemployed and small businesses. As a former small businessman himself, Joe Carraro suggests that instead of kicking the can down the road that the government should put the money to help subsidize small businesses hiring new employees who could then earn more than just the amount of their unemployment check, plus they get work experience and training while the small business gets the increased productivity and efficiency that comes from having an additional employee to help grow their business for consumers who, like their new employee, would be earning a wage above what unemployment costs,
