Herself Quits

Can we now have an end to the happy horseshit put about by the millionaires in the GOP and their millionaire stooges in the barking media about how Sarah Palin stands for and understands about real Americans? Real working class Americans? Real working class Americans who work?

Cause real Americans who work are losing their work. They are losing their jobs. Or taking pay cuts to keep their jobs. Or relocating to keep their jobs. Or making concessions on benefits. And overtime. And work rules. And pensions. And 401K's. And still they're losing their jobs.

Real Americans are having a hell of a time. Real Americans are not quitting their jobs.

Sarah Palin has a job. Her job is guaranteed for another 18 months. Her job pays $125,000 a year. It comes with full benefits. It comes with a generous per diem. It comes with a house. It comes with a car. And a driver. And a security detail.

The county where I spent the winter has an unemployment rate of 16.3% and a median household income of $32,000. The county where I live has an unemployment rate of 15.4% and a median household income of $27,000. Sarah Palin's job would support three or four households where I come from.

But Sarah Palin is not happy in her work. She's not happy in her well paid job. She's not happy in the job she asked Alaskans to hire her to do. The job she promised Alaskans she would do for four years. Cause its a hard job. Its a demanding job. Its a job that draws a lot of criticism and scrutiny.

So she's quitting her job.

Real Americans who work for a living are glad to have a job now. They do not quit their jobs. Not now. Not in the middle of the Great Recession. The Great Republican Recession.

Real Americans are hanging on to their jobs like grim death. Cause they have kids to feed and bills to pay. Real Americans put up with just about any bullshit on the job cause they need their job.

If you don't understand that, you don't understand real Americans. If you don't understand the terror of joblessness that's stalking real Americans, then you don't understand real Americans.

I'm talking to you, Sarah Palin. And I'm talking to the millionaire fools in the barking media.
