The Leftists today are no different than the Loyalists prior to and during the American Revolution. They accused the Revolutionaries "You are destroying the economy"...lol
It always amazes me how these people can lie, and do so with impunity. They are never questioned, but their wild claims are simply accepted as truth.
If the "Tea Party" were really working against the "American Dream", they would not have had an ounce of support from anybody, of course. But, the "Tea Party" comprises ordinary Americans from a cross section of the U.S. who are determined to restore responsible government, and re-establish a respect for the Constitution and the protections to freedom it embodies.
But they DON'T have an ounce of support from the general public. At most, they have a couple of ounces. Have you seen the polls?
Oh wait, all polls are designed by the liberal media to make the tea party look bad. I forgot.
unions literally turned their backs on the workers when they embraced illegal immigration for more UNION DUES.
they became irrelevant through their own actions.
they also used their government lobbying connections to force regular americans to bail them out.
now they get no respect, and they deserve none.
I'll agree with you in that many unions have shot themselves in the foot for their refusal to know when to push the pause button when necessary--like in bad economic times when a company isn't doing so hot. And while unions should always be careful about the company abusing workers, they failed to realize that the company also has to be successful for them to employ people. (ie, the big three). I think some unions had too much of an "us vs. them" mentality and saw the boss as "the enemy" rather than a partner.
Why can't people find balance? Unions bosses and corporate bosses need to be wise and not abuse their positions.
yeah, the TP gave Boehner great photo ops during debt ceiling drama that proved what?...we are in a globalized economy folks, you are blaming UNIONS now??? lol....keep checking, its a house of cards and everyone's affected.
Detroit looks like Berlin in post-war Germany now. The TP is bringing us back to 1930 depression, a nice fertile ground for a new Hitler....
Wow aren't we being all dramatic. Do you need a hug?
UAW? American dream? See Detroit as an example of what the UAW does to the American dream.
Detroit is an example of what happens when you regulate-to-death the great American cars that built our modern economy. Nobody wanted the Toyota wannabes that Detroit was forced to build....and rightfully so.
Silly as it is to attempt to blame the Tea Party for America's troubles, it is equally silly to blame unions....as the third-world country we are fast becoming is an example of what happens when corporate greed is wholly unchecked and unbalanced.
The massive economic and political power of large corporations has become a far greater threat to individual freedom and well-being in the United States than our government. I'm speaking, of course, of our government before it was acquired by Big Business. It therefore amazes me to watch "conservatives" continue to march behind them as though their pillaging of what's left of America is somehow going to leave their families anything but a burned cinder of a great country that was.
sorry sonny. I been around 61 years. I was a union member for 37 years.Walk a mile in MY shoes before you try to tell someone else how to live.
In my occupation,if it wasn't for the union... some of us would have been dead.They forced the company to put in place some very much needed safety measures.Without the union to fight for these the company would have turned a deaf ear all for "productivity".
Talk about living in "la la" land...........if you think companies would do the right "thing" without workers fighting for themselves...........you been smoking way too much wacky tobaccy........
This is exactly right. It seems that most young people today have their hands over their ears and are thus doomed to painfully re-learn this lesson the hard way.
LOL. No they didn't. Do you actually believe what you post or are you being paid to post this nonsense?
Yeah. I get really rich wasting my time arguing with low information voters.
It's really depressing reading posts claiming that the big problem with wealth distribution in America is middle-class unionized workers getting too big a share when the top 400 taxpayers own as much wealth as the bottom 150 million Americans - half the country.

Yep, but they have their orders....and they are creatures of duty.
