House of Paine

what happened to kulak wage folks part 3

 
another red cube intercept here

seems garbled and truncated

like its dashed off
 working notes

message 
seems to be

" the kold war 
was berry berry good to
  hard hats 
espetchally eeef jew were  white"

can't argue much
with that thesis 

as far as 
the first cycle 
from 46-68 
 
socialist kamp
  scare  

 "lord jesus 
please  bless the fuckin 
godless socialist camp
they done raised my life style" 

i agree 

thats how better
 wageryed whites 
otta see things

who the fuck knows
 if any ever will ? 


   kulaks ride
 side car to clover


part one 

beautee full 
shlub'oy bia 


to begin with
lets visit 
 the kulak wagelings 
   el dorado 

  the     plebs
 one floor  castle

to see 
the difference 
between
 ralph cramden’s
no exit to nassau 
and 
chester riley ‘s
arrival at levit town 

where did it start 
and 
where did it get to by 1968
==============
start from 

often as not 
something not much better then 
 ralphs three room  flat
=================

get to by way of riley's life 


guy take
 
a  two car port 

  bright  lawn

back yard barbeque

  above ground pool 

 and three color    tvs 

gal take 

every appliance 
every washer
every cooker 
every hair machine
 the latest 
two bathrooms 
a living room dining room and a den 

==================
first phase 
 hard hats and feather beds
rise rise rise 
despite
 the deballing 
 of the CIO 

the life of Riley
and his bigger wage rates 
allowed 
an indian summer 
for stay at home 
 house wifery 

the  American suburban
 track ranchos
 
a regular 
swing time rapsody

the coming 
of a new booboise

the big wars over 
and 
the american 
 right to rise
 really seems
 to begin arriving 

 you could see it 
in the weekly
 pay packet 


but not be4 a taste
of the thirties 

once herr hitler 
was ash and bone 
the unions erupted
like they 
never did
again


 and these 
were straight 
 lunch pail 
battles
===================
domestic liberties
 from aquisition
 to restoration

Riley
leaves the city
 to mayor daley 

the great migration 


 the  great cities 
 lower white  orders

ethnics of all euro stripes
 and urban yokels  too 

all headed 
to the New Canaan 
out there 
on the road

an earthley paradise
just waitin
 in 
 sub boobia


  the rise of the lawnmasters

the household handymen

 the lords of the barbeque

 craft vs sales

 we still got 10 million self employed
butfuck 
where have all the yeomen gone 


the people of  
sole proprietor  commerce

the ma and pa  shop keepers
they're gone 

they're sellin some one else wares
for a percentage 

the great exception
is construction
and household maintenance 
 
where still theres 
a foot hold 
for 
petty
contractors
as an old shoe part 
of 
the new medocrity
====================
above them looking down 
the new hypoise ( 68 crisis)
rise of the new stake holders
the free class the symbol workers
the creative class
the independent contractor paradigm
the liberal professions are renewed
by woodstockers
the new plebs fall in shame nam
and Bunker rises 
 junior to meat head
the brown shirt home town fans
 sports mobbery 
the clash of  recreational swubstances and lyrics and beat


from small holder to 
 to jobholder 
same kind of stake 

household production
 automation of the chores 
 the house wife and the paystubber
 1 acre plots not a yeoman make 
liberty without self sufficiency
I doubt your lawn could feed you even in a pinch

darkness at noon exploitation
 the play by the rules folks 
the i got it honest guys

the rip off ascension 
from crook to entrepreneur in  three steps 
steal cheat exploit


 work time Vs job time 
enter the fether bed

 notes on  hard hats 

HARD HATS AND SOFT HEADS 
KLASS QUAKES CLASS RIFTS 
WEDGE ISSUES 
FAR FROM RISING UP THEY WENT DOWN AND DOWN AND DOWN
LIKE JORE FRASER 
WHAT A SUIDDSY SHAME 

lets talk construction 
THE FUCKS WHO PUT THE WORD 
 trade
 in trade union

 you say ibet 
SHIT BOOHOO 
THEY KICKED US
 DODGERS IN THE NAMBOS 

FUCK THEM 
THE IGNORANT 
COWBRAINS 

   i hear you 

 “ya    the trades and traitors 
of the kass kampf ”

 ok ok but lets examine the story 

  in the heroic era of mass production 
THEY WATCHED AND WHISTLED 
  these are the site workers
NOT THE GUYS IN THE SATANIC MILLS
NOT THE PLANT PROFIT PROVIDERS

NEITHER PLANTATION NOR PLANT BE THEIR STYLE 

 they were mechanized but held together their trades
CAUSE THEY KEPT IT SITE BOUND 
FRAGMENTED LAST DITCH 

like indians with steel tomahawks and horses 
changed in the balnce of tasks 
but not utterly transformed 
 like the shoe maker 
or worse like the black smith and weaver
 wiped out 
     left behind by the march of production 
we still have carpenters and plumbers and masons 
and electricians 

   why have these folks formed the core of reaction 
inside the labor movement 
for 125 years 
because they have continuity 
like the family farmers 
they still have a slot 
if only the tide can be halted
