A public employee, a tea partier, and a CEO are sitting at a table…

Since I haven’t had much to laugh about in the past couple of weeks, here’s a bit of humor that’s been making the rounds within the Cheddarsphere:

A public employee, a tea partier, and a CEO are sitting at a table. In the middle of the table sits a plate of a dozen cookies. The CEO reaches across, takes 11 cookies, looks at the tea partier, and says, “Look out for that public employee, he wants a piece of your cookie.”

  1. There are 12 cookies on the plate the union worker says he wants 14 cookies, it is pointed out there are only 12 and there is no more dough to make more. The union workers says I demand 14 and unless I get 14 I will not budge. So the baker has to go to the lady across the street and take away from her cookies supplies what she would have used for her family to satisfy the union demands.

    1. Actually, if we apply this to what’s going on here in Wisconsin (which is what you tried but failed to do), then the joke would go something like this:

      A public employee, a tea partier, Scott Walker are sitting at a table. Well actually, it’s just the public employee and the tea partier, because Scott Walker can’t be bothered to sit at the same table as public employees.

    2. When Walker came into office with a surplus, gave $400 million in tax cuts to corporate interests, and subsequently declared an emergency, the unions volunteered to take cuts. The only thing they are unwilling to give up is their right to some semblance of democracy, in collective bargaining.

      Read up on your history, and maybe you’ll understand that the existence of unions is the only reason working conditions in this country are halfway decent. As soon as we start tearing down each other’s rights, the top 1% will have exactly what they’re after, a permanent working poor class, people so desperate that they’ll take any damn job and be pleased if they don’t lose two limbs in a single day.
