Fw: Union Guy

A union shop foreman walks into a bar next door to the factory and is about to order a drink to celebrate Obama’s victory when he sees a guy close by wearing a Romney for President button  and two beers in front of him.  He doesn't have to be an Einstein to know that this guy is a Republican.  So, he shouts over to the bartender so loudly that everyone can hear, "Drinks for everyone in here, bartender, but not for the Republican."

Soon after the drinks have been handed out, the Republican gives him a big smile, waves at him, then says, "Thank you!" in an equally loud voice.  This infuriates the union official.

The union captain once again loudly orders drinks for everyone except the Republican.  As before, this does not seem to bother the Republican. He continues to smile, and again yells, "Thank you!"

The union guy asks the bartender, "What the hell is the matter with that Republican?  I've ordered three rounds of drinks for everyone in the bar but him, and all the silly idiot does is smile and thanks me.  Is he nuts?"

"Nope," replies the bartender. "He owns the place”

Oh, I get it! It's funny because liberals don't own anything! They just look for handouts!

How do all of those big, highly populated, wealthy blue states thrive when they're made up of mostly "takers"?

Funny but I know a bunch of Republicans who are Union members, and I know a bunch of Democrats who happen to be small business owners.

But yeah: let's just have some dumb "joke" about how the so-called "moochers" got screwed over by the so-called "hard workers." Then again, this parable has some truth to it, but not in the way that the rightwing think tank intended.

So much broad brush projection in such a short RWF:

Like others have said so far, it's very clear how brainwashed these cons are when they naturally assume republican = owner/capital, and democratic = "hired help".

Also it's humorous to see them misfire by thinking they're adding weight to their joke by using a "union shop foreman" as the butt of the joke; as though "foreman" represents some Nth degree of "union guy". They're too ignorant to know that in a union shop, a foreman is a NON-union representitive of management.

Epic fail, but then again that little ditty was not meant to be rational discourse, but more red meat thrown to the boorish ignoramuses of the right.

So the Republican sits on his ass while the working-class stiff gives him money hand over fist?

Sounds about right. Clearly someone over at the think tank that wrote this needs an ideological proof-reader.

I'm just surprised that the bar is still open. I thought all of these small businesses were being put out of business by Obamacare...

No the bars will all be in business because we'll all be drowning in our sorrows and drinking heavily to ease the pain

You don't say, maresimpson? Is that all what all you Christians do when you don't get YOUR way? Drink until you fall over?

'Splains a lot. Thanks for the info.
