Once upon a time, on a farm in Indiana, there was a little red hen who scratched about the barnyard until she uncovered quite a few grains of wheat. She called all of her neighbors together and said, "If we plant this wheat, we shall have bread to eat. Who will help me plant it?"
"Not I," said the cow.
"Not I," said the duck.
"Not I," said the pig.
"Not I," said the goose.
"Then I will do it by myself," said the little red hen. And so she did; The wheat grew very tall and ripened into golden grain. "Who will help me reap my wheat?" asked the little red hen.
"Not I," said the duck.
"Out of my classification," said the pig.
"I'd lose my seniority," said the cow.
"I'd lose my unemployment compensation," said the goose.
"Then I will do it by myself," said the little red hen, and so she did. At last it came time to bake the bread. "Who will help me bake the bread?" asked the little red hen.
"That would be overtime for me," said the cow.
"I'd lose my welfare benefits," said the duck.
"I'm a dropout and never learned how," said the pig.
"If I'm to be the only helper, that's discrimination," said
the goose.
"Then I will do it by myself," said the little red hen. She baked five loaves and held them up for all of her neighbors to see. They wanted some and, in fact, demanded a share. But the little red hen said, "No, I shall eat all five loaves."
"Excess profits!" cried the cow.
"Capitalist leech!" screamed the duck.
"I demand equal rights!" yelled the goose.
The pig just grunted in disdain.
And they all painted "Unfair!" picket signs and marched around and around the little red hen, shouting obscenities.
Then a government agent came, he said to the little red hen, "You must not be so greedy." "But I earned the bread," said the little red hen. "Exactly," said the agent. "That is what makes our free enterprise system so wonderful. Anyone in the barnyard can earn as much as he wants. But under our modern government regulations, the productive workers must divide the fruits of their labor with those who are lazy and idle."
And they all lived happily ever after, including the little red hen, who smiled and clucked, "I am grateful, for now I truly understand." But her neighbors became quite disappointed in her. She never again baked bread because she joined the "party" and got her bread free. And all the Democrats smiled. 'Fairness' had been established. Individual initiative had died, but nobody noticed; perhaps no one cared.... as long as there was free bread that "the rich" were paying for.
What was that you were saying Cav?? Pass you my bread??

If the internet worked as easily as SouthWests then I could see the push. If someone answered the phone for the internet challenged then I could see it. But alas Southwest is the only one that answers their phone with a real person before the second ring...vc10 said:
If a man has his wallet open you should make it easier for him to give you the money than for him to give it to the other guy that wants his money. BTW I learned this in kindegarten at the lemonade stand...
Of course you wouldn't say that and that list of people that will be out of work will include your name and with it will come the endless diatribes about how raw a deal you got from the company and how it's not your fault. It's only management that is to blame and the IAM had nothing to do with it at all. We know the routine. It's getting as old as an 8-track tape with a player that has dead batteries.cavalier said:

That label will certainly be bestowed upon you by the great keeper of the union card on these boards. Beware of his holiness and in case you forget he will rap you over the head with his leftist, left-wing wacko ideals like he does anyone who disagrees with him.

Nothing like 5 people insisting on the last word to lower a discussion to random ranting.
