I hope some of you people manage to see tomorrow that unions were involved in the Occupy Movement strike. Of course, some of you just don't understand how much they are involved in the whole thing. I hope I turn out to be wrong but don't think it will be the case.
Germany has the strongest and highest paid labor unions in the world. German CEO's make 1/3 of what their American counterparts make. Yeah unions are bad bad bad! LMAO! Keep drinking the kool aid old man.
Problem...the Public Employees unions are breaking the state's budgets. With the exorbetant retirement benefits along with fully paid healthcare in many cases, the States can no longer afford the contracts that were signed.
I DO agree that the CEOs in the US make FAR too much money. It's ridiculous.
You know what brainwashed ideologues like you can't seem to fathom is how the world is changing. You still cling to outdated nostrums like "bootstraps" and "two feet". Pretty much 90% of the world and the economy will one day be automated. Just about EVERY job will have a huge swath of laborers and workers replaced by machines, supercomputers and robots. Then what? Since you're such a genius with such intellectual economic insight how will people "stand on their own two feet" when there isn't even an economy to sink their feet into? Do we all just stop breeding? How does government receive tax revenue? Are corporations going to allow their precious robotic labor to be taxed like human labor? You can't even fathom let alone imagine the tyranny that exists on the economic frontier. The world does not operate in your little utopic fantasy of "hardwork" and if you keep your head down and you'll make it. The people that rule the world would rather smash it into the ground. So keep cheerleading how bad unioins and organized labor is. For one day it just might save the future of your children and grandchildren. Only it won't be humans fighting humans.....it will be humans fighting robots and computers.
Get a life and get out of your mother's basement. Time marches on and you need to change and move on also.
The last several years has had a very heavy Mexican involvement. Even the Mexican government gets involved in the MayDay (May 1) protests in the US. The idea is to not work and show the region (city, state, country, whatever) that they can't get along without labor, in some areas, Mexican labor is the focus. I am not sure how effective the demonstrations have been as I don't pay much attention to it. With the occupy crowd getting involved this year, it ought to **** off those that try to just get through the day
Cinco de Mayo is not so much a Mexican holiday as an American holiday celebrating Mexican culture (which I like). There are no protests, it is good music, good drinking, and good food. Cinco de Mayo is fun and festive, not a protest.
I like your reference to Mexicans as "Hispanics from Mexico". "Mexicans" is not a bad word, you can say it. You are not insulting anyone. Mexicans know they are Mexicans. "Hispanics from Mexico" I love it.

Blah, blah,blah. You do realize I was responding to someone who seems to think that MEXICAN-Americans celebrate Uno de Mayo instead of Cinco de Mayo. She used the term "hispanics" so I responded in kind.
Unions are killing the economies of CA, IL, NY, NJ...............oh wait liberal states.........disregard this post........my bad.
