Myths That Must Die: "People are given jobs!" [View All]

[ColbertWatcher]

What is it with the GOP who keep saying people are given jobs?

I'm watching the repeat of "Countdown" and one of the morans is saying something about how people are interviewed three times before being given jobs at McDonald's.

No one is "given" a job. Jobs are offered and people accept or reject them. But no one--no one--is given a job!

I wish the GOP-controlled media would stop pushing the lie that people are passive when it comes to earning a job (remember those three interviews to get a job at McDonald's?) and that somehow the corporation gives jobs to us poor slobs, who should be grateful for whatever pittance they see fit to trickle on us.
