Now I see there is another group of people who, when added to those first two groups, may even have put Obama over the fifty percent mark -- those who work and pay taxes but think they are owed a high enough wage to live. The living wage entitlement group.

Well uh, ya...I'd like think I could make enough money to support me and a family...Apparently you figure China sets a pretty good example for business in America...

And of course you guys hate blue collar unions...I'd say it's people like you guys that are responsible for the creation of unions...

I'll bet you however just love the corporate unions...And anti-trust laws??? They were worse than Kryptonite for you guys...

Why is it no one talks about the value of a dollar???

Do I hate unions, yes, any conservative would. Do I hate corporate cabals, yes, I hate them too. That is why I said, I don’t like either arm of socialism. The point is simple. If you find you are not making enough money do something about it.

So you think I’m a fat cat free trader? Ha! My father worked three jobs as a teenager to support his family. Another family member saw his livelihood removed from him by public corporatists (county govt.) and he went out got a home study course in electronics and started his own very lucrative business back in the 60’s. No one whined about their situation or played the ‘gimme, gimme, it’s not fair’ song to anyone. They worked.

I grew up poor but no one in this country has to stay that way. I am not a free trader. I believe in the sovereignty of this country. But I am not a communist/socialist either. Every single one of those union is my salvation, and the govt. is my new god, workers will soon learn how poorly their new god does at saving them.

People in this country all need to take economics courses. They don’t even understand how these gimme gimme policies are destroying our country and our society. In the old Soviet socialist countries you got a salary set by the govt. There was no incentive whatsoever to improve because the salary they gave you was the salary you got no matter how well you performed. You see what happened to the Soviet economy. With out reward for the diligent and skilled workers, they performed no better than the lazy bums who think they are owed a living. When I was growing up there was a song associated with the appropriately named Disney character, Goofy. The song was: the World Owes Me a Living.

If you want more money:

gain more valuable skills
be diligent at your work
apply your knowledge wisely
honor the Lord in all you do

Trusting the Lord won’t necessarily make you rich, but He always takes care of His own.
