President Obama responded to the swine flu problem saying, “If you are sick, stay home.”
What a stupid remark! Who wants to go to work when they have a fever and feel like hell? No one, Mr. President! We go to work when we are sick because we don’t want to lose our jobs! Especially now. During a recession.
More than 59 million people have no paid sick time at all. More than 75% of women, low-wage workers have no paid sick days. And who takes care of sick children?
If President Obama wants us to stay home, fine. Let him write the notes to all the bosses! Not to mention, pay our sick days!
