Economic problems are caused by unions. They're constantly demanding luxuries, like multi-walled dwellings, post-nursery education, post-breakfast meals. So we set up shop in Asia, and the workers love it. They just come right in and sweat.

Artist picture
Songs to afflict those who make everyone else uncomfortable.
Dave Lippman travels the world taking the air out of the windbags of the week, de-distorting history, and rewriting the classics with parody and thrust. He also presents the world's only known singing CEO, the Bard of the Bankers, Wild Bill Bailout, who employs anti-folk songs and interventionary anthems to explain (and enforce) that the business of America is none of your business, that those too big to fail are also too big for jail, and that the jobless and foreclosed must bail out their own boats.

Lyrics
(Flintstones:) Sweatshops, we've got sweatshops We're a modern stone age family (My Bonnie:) My money lies over the ocean My money lies over the sea My money lies over the ocean Invested in sweat equity (guess this one:) There was a young woman who sewed a shoe Phil Knight made a billion While she made two Dollars a day (Hokey Pokey:) You put your right foot in, you take your business clout Your put some PR spin and you shake it all about You put them in the pokey and you pay a buck a day That's what it's all about (Home on the Range:) Oh give me a plant And a good worker ant And a dear little minimum wage Where seldom is seen a unionized teen And the kids hold their bladders all day (guess this one two:) Yes we've got sweatshops In Ho Chi Minh City And that starts with s And it's made in U.S. If you count Saipan (semi-original) Who's a major civic leader in the Northern Marianas Decorating worker's homes with barbed wire? Who's the corporate citizen who's up to their old sh** again Building new traditions in Old Saipan Fall into the trap While they labor in their cages, live large and with vigor Don't fret about their wages, wear it three sizes bigger Relive the stone ages with Tommy Hilfiger Fall into my lap, my trap, my crap
