McDonald’s Corporate Profits Built On Government Subsidies (Food Stamps) for Slave Wage Workers?

Get the Government out of my pockets!

Get McDonald’s out of the Government’s pockets!

McDonald's workers struggling to get by on poverty wages should apply for food stamps and Medicaid. 

 That's the advice one activist McDonald's worker received when she called the company's "McResource Line," a service provided to McDonald's workers who need help with issues like child and health care. 

 "You can ask about things like food pantries. Are you on SNAP? SNAP is Supplemental Nutritional Assistance [Program] -- food stamps ... You would most likely be eligible for SNAP benefits," a McResource representative told 27-year-old Nancy Salgado, who works at a Chicago McDonald's. "Did you try and get on Medicaid? Medicaid is a federal program. It's health coverage for low income or no income adults -- and children."

Pau Ryan's War on Poverty and Inspiration for Upward Mobility

One of the memories from my youth was Lyndon Johnson’s War on Poverty which he did as a diversion as they sent mostly poor and mostly black people in the “draft” (without, too poor to afford, deferments) over to Vietnam for the sake of General Motors’ profits and quarterly dividends.

I can remember a pre-class discussion in college among fellow students back then how Lyndon Johnson or his wife Lady Bird held stock in a company that made the infamous “tiger cages” to house and torture North Vietnamese Prisoners of Wars. This of course for a profit etc. For profit is no sin – right?

In that great tradition of rich man politician Hypocrisy, Paul Ryan has suddenly discovered the poor and the losing war on poverty.  And no doubt to cover up public, not private, guilt over Janna’s Petroleum Industry “Blind” trusts funds and perhaps too as a cover for Ann Romney  making millions through “Elliott Associates” from taxpayer federal bailout money for the auto industry in her “Blind Trust” etc, 

- Paul Ryan has suddenly found the “Poor” and is promising them “Upward Mobility” just like Jesus did in his day.

Paul Ryan / Mitt Romney / Ayn Rand Beatitudes:

Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of welfare – 47%.

Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be sold a $20,000 on credit that they cannot afford funeral package for mom.

 

Blessed are the meek: for they shall pay my share of the taxes.

Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be given a “Truth” enema by FOX NEWS.

Blessed are the merciful: for they shall be taken advantage of by the hedge fund managers.

Blessed are the pure in heart: for they are losers – no scratch, cash – nada.

Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be assassinated by the arms dealers and or droned on by the Military Industry Complex INC etc.

Blessed are they which are persecuted for tax sakes:  for theirs is the kingdom and banking system of the Cayman Islands.

Monsanto – The New Bread of Life – God? – Vandana Shiva thinks not!

I ran into Bill Moyers Journal with the Indian Activist Sandana Shiva and my third eye opened up in terms of putting the Global concept on the individual level that I try to follow and document.

But the disturbing thing is how International Corporate Agri-Business is gobbling up the third world like in India and killing off hundreds of thousands of farmers through suicide who can no longer live or compete on their small plots of once fertile and plentiful food producing land. They can’t compete with the new God Monsanto – and its patented re-definitions of Food and God.

I am getting old.  I can remember when Monsanto was a chemical company primarily into the production of linoleum. Linoleum? What’s that? Told you I was old.

But my getting old is not the issue. The issue is how the global corporations are taking the global concept to a control all level of the human existence.  Humans no longer count in the Agri-business global model.  Humans and Farmers – being tossed off the Global Corporate Spreadsheet genetically engineered at Wharton, Brown and Harvard.

Monsanto is not God! Though it is trying to play God all over the planet with its genetically altered food, patenting it and monopolizing worldwide food production in that only its patented seeds are the only seeds available now to many farmers in the third world.

That lies that genetically altered seeds produce more food, greater yield, are even believed by fools like Bill Gates of Microsoft.  Bill better get off his high horse if he genuinely wants to help humanity and not corporations.
