I am not going to respond to all of these at once here. I have already been online longer than I'd like today. Here are a couple of things I disagree with. First of all you left out the preamble to those bullett points:

Right-Wing Ideology in a Nutshell
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When you cut right through it, right-wing ideology is just "dime-store economics" – intended to dress their ideology up and make it look respectable. You don't really need to know much about economics to understand it. They certainly don't. It all gets down to two simple words.
"Cheap labor". That's their whole philosophy in a nutshell – which gives you a short and pithy "catch phrase" that describes them perfectly. You've heard of "big-government liberals". Well they're "cheap-labor conservatives".
"Cheap-labor conservative" is a moniker they will never shake, and never live down. Because it's exactly what they are. You see, cheap-labor conservatives are defenders of corporate America – whose fortunes depend on labor. The larger the labor supply, the cheaper it is. The more desperately you need a job, the cheaper you'll work, and the more power those "corporate lords" have over you. If you are a wealthy elite – or a "wannabe" like most dittoheads – your wealth, power and privilege is enhanced by a labor pool, forced to work cheap.
Don't believe me. Well, let's apply this principle, and see how many right-wing positions become instantly understandable.

Your whole theory built around this concept, falls apart because the numbers are incorrect:

The majority of their employ makes about 8.00 p.h.. Management , about 12.oo p.h.

Quote by: C.Pig Actually, I think what is being attacked here is the employer's right to deny anyone employment or business for whatever they wish. |
No, what is being attacked (And those bullett points are not the bulk of the article) ...is the corporate agenda to keep the working class down. And its really more of an attack on the government, than the "employer". The govt. has sworn an oath, not to cater to multi-national corps, but to defend the Constitution and the people.
Under a more liberal flag we all prosper. The rich get richer and the poor get richer. Under the Neo-Con flag The rich get richer and the poor get poorer. 90% of this nations wealth is in the pockets of 2% of the population. Is that fair? I am not an economist, but I can tell when I have been screwed financially.
A corporation is not a person. So, when it becomes so powerful that it controls our government, at the expense of the people, it can be taken out back and shot.
I'll check back later.
