The Real Questions Jack Should Answer
Current rating: 0

Since Jack is bringing up these important issues, it is curious that he asks about whether others offer health benefits and 401k's to their employees without explicitly stating whether or not he does so himself. Jack has represented himself as a small businessman, but he has also been shown to stretch the truth, OK, just flat-out lie about himself (see http://www.ucimc.org/newswire/display_any/10565 ).

So I gotta ask about this even though I kind of doubt that Jack actually owns anything but a lot of time on his hands to use to read and then troll Indymedia and he'll probably just tell us some more lies.

Jack, do you offer health care and 401k to your employees?

And don't give us some sort of dodge, like they're "independent contractors," either.

Which business do you run, so that I can be sure I don't spend any of my money there?

Or are you too chickenshit and afraid all the pro-peace people that you like to pretend don't exist will not do business with you anymore, hurting your profits?

At least Mark Thompson has the guts to publicly show where he stands. I've done business with him in the past and may do so in the future, although he's wrong about some of what he's been saying about why people show up to protest Bush's War for Re-Election. He at least earns my respect for speaking his mind, without trying to dodge the heat he may take for doing so.

That is the opposite of the case with you who, between insults, have said very little that couldn't be heard in the halls of a junior high. Just for you, Jack, I would lead a boycott, so let us know what the name of your business is so that we can verify your claims about the status of your employee benefits and let people know where people who care about peace, and real dialogue, can avoid spending our money.

Or are you just the "keyboard commando" you've been shown to be here on UC IMC?
