I live in reality and I am in the 1% and believe me, if the US is depending on my taxes we may as well shut the US down.
Wait!...That's what the Republicans want to do!

What union do you belong to?

Local 880 in Nassau County and I agree that there are no standards for position or pay.

Strong property rights would make it easy to sue the shit outta someone for doing a bad job.

Yes, excellent job security.

You work for the union until there's no more work.
Then you work for the union again until there's no more work.
Then you work for the union again until there's no more work.
Then you work for the union again until there's no more work.
Then you work for the union again until there's no more work.
Then you work for the union again until there's no more work.

And then after 30 years of working for the union with great health benefits and a paycheck 85+% of the time you bitch about how many times the union threw you under the bus.
You work for a union until there's no more work.

You talk like you know both sides.
You don't.

But go ahead, post another explicative if it makes you feel better.
I have unlimited bandwidth.

You hit the nail on the head. Unions make it so there is no more work for everyone. Businesses are fleeing union friendly states in favor if free labor states. How about you Google where all the foreign car manufacturing plants in the US are located.

You can discuss that with JL.

Your response makes no sense.
Today's "free" market guarantees no security.
In fact, in today's "free market" job security is such a joke everyone should have a zero credit rating.

I asked for an analysis of why things are so bad where you are.
Maybe you need a contact in Nassau County.
Being pissed is not helping.

It makes tons of sense. I simply pointed out what environments are more conducive to jobs. There is not, nor should there be, any kind of guarantee pd job. That only creates an entitled attitude a generally shitty workers, like those that exist in many of our modern day unions.

You mean like the nepotistic nature of small private businesses or non-Securities departments in publicly held Wall Street firms?
You're living in a dream world if you believe Wall Street firms aren't rife with the same low standard of production as Unions.
I know, I know, every retard CEO is a genius.
That's why they have to fire Americans to cut costs to show a profit.

Yet you flippantly dismiss the facts regarding who pays the majority of our taxes. Facts published by the IRS. The Galbraith-Goober theory of the marginal utility of wealth is pure bullshit propaganda.

They have nothing to do with preserving the greatness of America.

Are there emoticons for Palm to face or Shakes head?
Taxes do matter and it has been shown to matter time and time again.
The Boston Tea Party wasn't about tea and no country has ever taxed its way to prosperity.

Taxation WITHOUT representation.
I pay taxes, small business pay taxes, and we have, de facto, far less representation than large corporations.
