It disturbs me to see people mocking Ryan because his only real world experience was working at McDonalds. Just look at their employee handbook and discover where his values and guidance comes from. You can't argue with success and so; get a gander at the core values and guiding principles of a Ryan Republican?Ronald McDonald Brave New World... (in italics)
From the McDonalds Handbook:
Our unchangeable core values:
1. People – We strive to discover and meet
the needs of our clients, employees and
vendors.
-'People' are corporations. 'Clients' are corporations. Employees are 'at will' and owned by the corporation and 'vendors' are the corporations that supply the corporations we call 'people'.
2. Product – We produce products that
withstand long term use, abuse and
neglect.
-If corporations are people, than 'Product' is the new purpose of government. Forget service, infrastructure and the social contract. It is now just product. Aha! you say, 'what about defense?' There are now more privatized 'soldiers' on the government payroll than real soldiers. The bulk of our onerous defense expenditures go largely to corporate 'people'. Here are the top ten 'people':
1) Lockheed Martin Corp. $10,888,633,000
2) Northrop Grumman Corp. $8,212,891,000
3) Boeing Co. $5,051,984,000
4) General Dynamics Corp. $4,576,415,00
5) Raytheon Co. $4,095,309
6) KBR Inc $3,546,554,000
7) -3 Communications Corp. $3,332,433,000
8) Science Applications International Corp. $3,280,980,000
9) DynCorp International Inc. $2,398,874,000
10) Hewlett-Packard Co. $2,344,325,000
Soldiers are just widgets on an assembly line. Outsourced when we need to pay extra for what we used to do ourselves. The average soldier makes $30,000 a year. At less than 500,000 soldiers, this means less than 15 billion dollars of a 700 billion plus budget. The rest is 'product'
. The whole 'longterm use, abuse and neglect' thing? Got me there... How does that apply to a hamburger? A bomber? We don't know either, but doesn't it sound cool?
3. Profit – Profit is the indispensable gas
that drives our engine and allows us to
concentrate on values 1&2.
-Do I need to say anything here? Well, yes,... Ryan doesn't intend to run his new company at a profit, he intends to run with the profit from his new 'company'.
So now that we know his core values, lets look at the guiding principles that he will lead this country with. You didn't think Romney would run the country... did you? You're funny. You probably though Bush was running the country. That's why he has such a prominent role at the GOP convention.
Here we have what they call...
Our unchangeable general guidelines
1. Bureaucracies are for managing chaotic systems and
incompetent, undisciplined employees. Aggressively seek
and remove them.
-The government is a pool of bureaucracies with incompetent and undisciplined employees. Aggressively remove all of them. Privatize. Everything.
2. Maintain a framework of systems and continually adjust
them in pursuit of perfection.
-By framework, we mean a skeletal remnant of both government and infrastructure, health, education and (dare I say it?) welfare. By adjust we mean, reduce and reduce and reduce some more. By perfection we mean 'profit, profit, profit'.
3. Staff the company with competent, disciplined people
willing to work within the systems.
By 'competent' we mean white, male and at will. By disciplined we mean non-union, outsourced and obedient in the face of illegal, dangerous and low paying systems. If you want to see a competent, disciplined system, simply visit any McDonalds.
4. Manage the systems, not the people.
Because the corporations (the systems) are the real 'people'. Those slaving flesh bags are pose-able, disposable parts of the overhead. The minimum wage unregulated business model is the most successful model in our history since the Cotton industry before the Civil War.
5. Focus on values: Focus on money and you lose touch
with your values. Focus on your values, and money is
the blessing that follows.
Please reference our core values above to understand what this means...
Ta Ta Ta Ta taaaa... I'm Lovin' It?
