RAT BASTARDS

Circuit City fired 3,400 employees nationwide yesterday simply because they make too much money. They intend to replace the fired workers with "new hires willing to work for less."

That's contemporary Republicanism, at its most refined.

"The company said the dismissals had nothing to do with performance but were part of a larger effort to improve the bottom line."

What happened to family values? What happened to rewarding performance? What happened to working your way UP?

Do well (relatively speaking) in this Bush economy, and you run the risk of getting fired.
