Only in America

Bill O’Reilly Fox’s leading self-styled populist put it….to Jeff Faux, founding president of the progressive Economic Policy Institute: “Wait, wait, wait. Let’s be honest here. If you’re a French worker, you get seven weeks vacation. You work 35 hours a week. Thirty five hours a week! That’s your workweek.”

Faux’s response was direct: “And what’s wrong with that?”

The title of this article from FAIR says it all: US Media to French Youth:: Fight for your right to be fired. Only in America do we demand the right to be screwed by corporations.

And look how the journalists are celebrating falling wages.
