COSTCO for a long time refused to accept government credit card payments because having a government contract can be used to force a company to adhere to certain civil rights law standards.

They were assured nothing like that would happen.

Obviously the Leftwingtard paranoics who own and operate COSTCO were right ~

But the unions can still politicize?

I don’t have a big problem with this, as long as it’s extended to Universities and Unions

...and welfare

... and anyone except the military who receives more from the government than they pay in taxes. No representation without taxation.

First companies then people. No government employee, including military personnel, would be allowed to vote if you carried this socialist’s thinking to a logical conclusion. Of course they would make exceptions for those receiving welfare checks, food stamps, etc.

I think Government Motors and Chrysler may take exception to Shorty’s advice.

I actually think that Reich is onto something as I don’t believe members of public employees unions should have the right to vote in state or federal elections. It’s a massive conflict of interest when you vote higher taxes because that’s where you paycheck comes from!

Now a public employee who choses not to join a union — fine, they can vote.

Why does anybody give the time of day to Robert Reich? I remember having to sit through his interminable “Total Quality Air Force” videos in the 90’s.

I thought he made no sense then and my opinion hasn’t changed about him in the intervening 20 years.

Commie asshat midget.

DOH!

COSTCO is Not COSCO (China Overseas Shipping Company). COSTCO is membership only warehouse stores, corp. HQ in Wash. State.

Posting to pacothecat is a waste of time, as the poster is a blog pimp that only posts links on FR, and never replies to comments. Check out his/her posting history.

Cool. Perhaps a little thunking on the head is still in order though. :-)
