It takes business somewhere to make jobs. Sometimes it is the small business that is firing people now because of Obama-Care or it could be a bigger business.

Businesses make jobs, not government and not a union.
So before you strangle a business or one in the name of a Corporation because it exists or makes a profit, consider they are mostly the sole providers of jobs in this country.

Killing the Golden Goose and all that.

Lefties think this way.

A bunch of "workers" demand jobs.

Some "evil" rich guy opens a business in order to hire them.

The "evil" rich guy should care more about the employees every whim, not about making profit.

When the business has to lay off workers, he is an "evil" rich guy.

The "workers" go off and work for another "evil" rich guy.

Well we need to add this:
The ones who can go work for themselves or start businesses that go are doers and are rare.
We screw with them, we get less of them and they end up doing things in ways that are short of labor.
Why spend 80 hours a week, go through regulations, loans, liability, potential lawsuits and lose sleep if there isn't much financial reward?

Those people wanting to go after other people's wallets need in so many ways to grow up.

And one of the signs from the LA rally?






And lets not forget the poor starved malnourished socialists marching in the rally...........




If it looks like a socialist, smells like a socialist, sounds like a socialist, and acts like a socialist............

Oh, and lets glorify a torturer and mass murderer:

Is that first girl 18 yet?

If she's dumb enough to fight for communism, she's dumb enough to do almost anything.

ETA: if she's under 18, forget I said anything.

Unions hate people who think and act for themselves because it is a real threat to the hierarchy of collectivism.
I never said only those who belong to unions are working people. Lots of working people don't belong to a union and they're the next targets after the right gets rid of the unions. All working people benefit from the unions and as the unions get weaker the working people will be the ones to pay

Most people no longer benefit from unions. Union pensions and contracts as well as democrat led policies and regulations have been very successful in driving our industry and manufacturing jobs overseas.

Is there a reason you find it necessary to use bold for the entirety of you posts? You might as well be "shouting" in captials.

Way to get in there and discuss the topic of the thread. I say you were completely off topic.

Ah yes, but Communists think that government ownership of business is the answer so they believe that things will be ever so nice with Communism in effect.
