Romney and Ryan need to take Big Bird protestors head on. Call them up on stage and/or raise up a Big Bird doll and explain that the company that owns Big Bird makes over a 100 million dollars a year, selling products and advertising.
That’s a successful example of capitalism, but why should a poor farmer in Ohio or a miner in Pennsylvania have part of their taxes go to subsidize Big Bird?
Or give them someone to rip apart verbally?
Explain how one “Patricia de Stacy Harrison”, CEO of a multi-billion dollar media empire makes millions in salary and bonus package and will make millions in her retirement package. Oh, and has a near-million dollar buy-out package (golden parachute) waiting for her if she leaves prior to retirement.
About half-way thruogh their 1% rant...let them know that the media empie is CPB. Deeeee-lish!
Yes, that would halt their protests! AND, Big Bird and company need to release their IRS filings for the last 5 years, haa!
I HOPE our team finds a good way to stop these silly gigs...even if we have to hire our own Big Bird to come to the stage.
It is a real shame when people get attached to assistance programs. It makes them or those who benefit from providing a service search how to remain on a program totally funded by those working and doing more or less the right thing while they tend towards evil. I see sadly that it also causes one to not forgive a relative for a small wrong and show independence and hurt by letting a goverhment worker take care of their baby, not grandma. If we loose forgiveness and love for those in our family we’ll loose it for those we work with and live around.
