Figuring out the culprit here is not very difficult.  Just asks who hates labor, and the answer is obvious: vulture capitalists and the party that they own, the Republicans.  Then ask who represents the Republican Party most, and the answer is equally obvious, Faux Noise<\/em>.  John Oliver did a number on them, big time!<\/font><\/p>\n

\"Fox-News-purpose\"If anyone was not already acquainted with the standard fare offered up on Fox every Saturday during their so-called "business block" where they spend week after week trashing unions, the poor and the working class in general, they got a pretty good dose of what watching those shows on a regular basis is like if they caught John Oliver's opening segment on The Daily Show this Thursday.<\/p>\n

Oliver started things off by showing the viewers some of the coverage of the ongoing strikes and protests by fast food workers who are demanding a living wage and asked "how can these fast food workers even be sure their company can afford to give them raises?" After showing a clip where they talked about the fact that McDonald's made $5.5 billion in profits last year, Oliver responded…<\/p>\n

…After pointing out that raising the minimum wage would be good news for everybody, including the businesses that raised the wages themselves since it puts more money into the economy, Oliver asked what the argument against raising it is.<\/p>\n

Cue the haters over at Faux "News."…<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

I do think Arthur Treacher’s should be sued for promoting Neil Cavuto so far above his merit. Oliver did a magnificent job of ridiculing just how absurd the Republican policy on food stamps is, and how hateful the goose-steppers at the Republican Reichsministry of Propaganda are while trying to dupe Faux Noise<\/em> sheeple into believing it.<\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
