Conservative Ben Stein to Unemployed: You're Valueless, Shitty Workers and Deserve It

By librarygrape on | From librarygrape.com

I've often wondered what the correlation is between extreme conservatism and moderate sociopathy. Methinks it's quite high.

For your consideration, check out the ever-charming Ben Stein on how most of the desperately unemployed are just valueless, shitty workers and deserve what they're getting:

The people who have been laid off and cannot find work are generally people with poor work habits and poor personalities. I say “generally” because there are exceptions. But in general, as I survey the ranks of those who are unemployed, I see people who have overbearing and unpleasant personalities and/or who do not know how to do a day’s work. They are people who create either little utility or negative utility on the job. Again, there are powerful exceptions and I know some, but when employers are looking to lay off, they lay off the least productive or the most negative. To assure that a worker is not one of them, he should learn how to work and how to get along -- not always easy.

Yeah, I'm reaalll sure that multimillionaire, NYC-livin' Ben Stein is routinely exposed to all those unemployed, unwashed masses he's passing judgment on en masse.

Just a thought: In order to become part of the permanent, conservative Elect, do you have to undergo a ritualistic heart-ectomy to get initiated?
