I love these Union guys !!!

Go Jimmy Hoffa !!!

"In their vision, you have no place at all. With our vision, you are the place!" said Biden. "We stand with you, organized labor, because with you we will restore the American dream."

I love unions too, when needed or useful, for various reasons.
Private sector unions are mostly OK, tho many a time, they overstep their usefulness
Public unions?
Wheres the need?
If the government didnt pay their employees enough, those jobs wouldnt be filled, and then the politicians would catch hell
So, again, no need, just pay them fairly.

Some people, alot actually, tho theyre in unions, dont want a democrat in office many times, but they have no choice as to where a portion of their union dues go, which is hugely disproportionate to the dems, and where its been tried to have control over your personal contributions to a given candidate, thru union dues, its been fought by, you guessed it, the democrats.
This is seperatist in nature, and shouldnt be lawful in my mind.
The VP only showed the stranglehold he and the dems have and want from the unions
 
Fair enough ... the Dems are seen as basically the same as the Labor Party here in Australia I guess.

the Republicans are perhaps very similar to the Liberal party here too.

 
Pretty much
What I really dont like is how these "sides" have aligned, as if they cant cross ideas at any given time
Going in the "this party does this, while this party does that" direction only increases greed, seperation and being stuck with the proverbial "they were the least of all evils, thats why I voted for them" scenario
 
I think I am a pretty right wing Labor man ... I do believe the working classes reserve the right to negotiate collectively with their employer.

I do agree Unions should be transparent in the finances and dealings ... since it it the people's money.
 
Well, Ive mentioned earlier about my grandfather, back when guns and clubs were needed for fairness
Whats funny now tho is, its so tempered down, and the unions gain so much, while its still the workers who do all the unions lifting.
In other words, the unions are doing to the workers much like the employer would possibly do, if not for the unions.
BIG BIDNESS unions are
 

But its OK to tax the rich in a grossly unbalanced way, since turning on the rich isnt so bad, but not the other classes?
 
Here is an analogy by Bill Maher:

"Take the American capitalist system and liken it to a party. You have 100 people and order 100 pizzas. Instead of everyone getting what they want, there is an unbalanced nature. One person Gets 80 pizzas while the rest get the other 20.

Liken that to us. the top 1% has the majority of the cash while the rest of us have the least of all.

You may ask, ' Why can't they give at least one more slice?'
I don't know...oh, wait I do:

THAT'S SOCIALISM.!"

I am thinking about just ditching work tomorrow and having a sleep in and then looking for a new solar controller for my spa ...

Waiting for the water to heat up is just uncivilised ... I want hot water now !!

I'll leave you unwashed to decide how the world should run ... while I enjoy it.

:)



 


May I remind you that the analogy was that EVERYONE too out risks and one got lucky, but instead of employing one other, they keep their pizza, not because the deserve it, but because they feel entitled not to feed their peers.


 
“For I was hungry and you gave Me pizza; I was thirsty and you gave me amdkoolaid; I was a stranger and you made me talk to badge; I was naked and you clothed Me with an Intel T-shirt; I was sick and you overclocked and defragged me; I was on Toms Harware in the News and Leisure forums and you came to Me”

(Matthew 25:35 ... freely translated by reynod ... from the lost Greek tablets
