Time again to shut down a union plant and move it overseas. Why put up with all the horsecrap when it’s more profitable elsewhere.....

[JrsyJack]

I have noticed a complete blackout on the part of the press in reporting the demands of these loons...

We view the protests as young people who are articulating the same kind of things that we’ve been trying to articulate

Thanks for coming right out and saying it...dummies.

I want to see all the wealthy Trust Fund Kids attending these "occupy" events PLEDGE to not accept any income derived from corporate sources.

Businesses and unions are hardly morally equivalent. Most of what businesses do lobbying has to do with keeping the government out of their business and pockets. Because the the government has become so powerful, lobbying is needed for protection. Microsoft learned this lesson through being sued on bogus anti-trust charges. (until the suit, Microsoft had no lobbyists and wasn’t “contributing” to politicians)

Because the government now dispenses so much money, many other businesses have to deal with government to stay in business. Some businesses have adapted to our increasingly fascistic economic model by becoming subsidy and rent seekers. These are typically “green businesses” and businesses that are heavily unionized. But farmers are also major government welfare recipients. Nevertheless, this is a small proportion of businesses overall.

American unions, on the other hand, have always been political and parasitic. The vast majority of American workers stayed away from unions in droves until they were forced in by FDR’s Administration through the Wagner Act. Since Taft-Hartly American workers have shown what they think of unions by leaving in mass. The only exception is in the government. There unions fit well - parasitic organizations serving parasites.

You might consider what you would do if you created a business or were in charge of one and had to face and try to hold off looting politicians and bureaucrats every day.

You just know that the GOP will not have the back bone to fight back & point out that these goons are in league with the socialist wing of the TREASON PARTY.But nobody ever accused the GOP establishment of have a spine or brains.

Martial Law on fast track

[Slump Tester]

Will Ron Paul be joining them?

[ARepublicanForAllReasons]

with a diverse array of people from across the country camping out in the heart of the financial district to demand Wall Street is held accountable for the schemes and reckless games that led to the nation’s economic collapse.

Then they will vote next year to re-elect the main culprit.

ACORN and the CRA are the other half of the problem, and most of the protestors probably support ACORN.

"There's a fire raging! Quick, bring more kerosene!" LOL

Have you actually noticed that these “workers” do more protesting and marching, than actual working...

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

Unions talking about greed LOL LOL LOL

[SueRae]

ping for later

[Biggirl]

No.

Just like a previous generation, come next year, the “silent majority” will have its say.

[Biggirl]

I doubt it. This nation is first of all a center-right nation and is going in that direction.
