GOP congresswoman "It's great you have to work 2 jobs!"

Ah these are strange times my friends-strange times. I was brought up to believe that the American dream was a 40 hour work week, 3 weeks at least of vacation, a pension and the promise that your kids would do better than their parents.

Well not according to Republicans. Bush when confronted by a lady in 2005 who said she worked 3 jobs said:

"You work three jobs? … Uniquely American, isn’t it? I mean, that is fantastic that you’re doing that."

Uniquely American? Not really. We've seen this before during the days of the robber barons and Eduardian England. Heck I'm pretty sure these labor standards go on in China and other 3rd world countries where the worker is treated like a dog.

Lest you might think this was an isolated moment of truth telling on the part of the Preznit, another GOPer expressed roughly the same sentiments:

"I am so proud to be from the state of Minnesota. We’re the workingest state in the country, and the reason why we are, we have more people that are working longer hours, we have people that are working two jobs." Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN)
