….. and hopefully, out of all of Illinois, this tiny little group of voters that read CapFax are the only ones that realize I am not telling the truth.

Yikes. Looks like someone forgot laundry day out at the Fairgrounds.
Seriously, what’s with the vest lately? Did he lose a bet?

Comment by 37B Tuesday, Nov 14, 17 @ 5:06 pm
You wouldn’t believe these Chinese kids they had working on the assembly lines. No OSHA rules, no worker’s comp, it was beautiful. Watching them work, with no goggles or protective gear of any kind, picking up the crucible like *this* with just a rusty old pair of kitchen tongs, no gloves, no apron. Well I got to tell you, I was impressed.
The best part? If one of those kids gets hurt and can’t work, they send them back to their hometown in rural whoknowswhere China and they can find ten more children to take their place before the shift even ends. Now I ask you, how can Illinois manufacturers compete with these guys?
And Mike Madigan refuses to repeal all of those job-killing worker protections that are holding back our economy. I can’t believe I’m losing to that guy.

After I finish shakin’ up Springfield, i’ll have a lot of time on my hands. Beginnin’ mid- January 2019 I could reshape your company in no time. I do not see many jobs here we could not transfer to my private Phillapine island where the workforce is 100% Coolie. Blow your profit margin’s out the wazzou. Know what I am sayin’?

You’re stepping over the the yellow line. Why are you stepping over the yellow line? Don’t you remember anything about the safety talk we gave you before you came out on the shop floor? We told you to never step over the yellow line.

Bruce: Awww, come on guys, it’s so simple. Maybe you need a refresher course.
It’s all ball bearings nowadays. Now you prepare that Fetzer valve with some 3-in-1 oil and some gauze pads. And I’m gonna need ’bout ten quarts of anti-freeze, preferably Prestone. No, no make that Quaker State.

Now I know I’m over the yellow line and could lose my hand, but these are the regulations that are killing our business. Working across the Mississippi you have to see that. Speaking of Iowa you know when the first Ronald Regan dinner is in 2019?

Although I claim to be a Republican, I expect all Illinois taxpayers to pay higher taxes to pay for aborting humans this size or smaller.
