The Axis of Evil: the South and the German & Japan Auto Companies

I heard it first on Morning Joe on MSNBC today: the Axis of Evil is the South and the German & Japan Auto Companies. The historical irony of this is breathtaking.

The unemployed of the South fled to the industrial north to help build the American industrial miracle that played a major role in defeating Germany and Japan in WWII. Now The South is allying itself with the German and Japanese auto companies to defeat the industrial base of the North: the American auto companies. Good grief!

The ideology of the South is that labor is the province of servants (slaves?), and it is supported by their Biblical beliefs regarding their God rewarding those "He" favors with wealth, and true believers are not to question those "He" places in authority over others.

This fits the global financial services sector's concept that wages for labor should equal those of a mule: water, hay, harness, stall, and medical care for breeding stock.

We have abandoned reason for this?
