FUMR and your gang of eight traitors!
Convicted felons and illegal aliens are the only ones that will have a job in the USA.
So why are the unions for this monstrosity? Early retirement benefits/pensions?
Is there a part that says AMNESTIED IMMIGRANTS do not ever have to pay any taxes
Claire Wolfe's alarm clock is winding down.
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
Let me see....amnestied folks get full time jobs and don’t have to deal with deathcare? They will be able to go to any doctor anytime and I get to die.
How I hate the ones ruling us.
phuck them all.
Those bastards continue to violate their Oaths
as they actually sell OUR country and, what is
left, of its security.
They are Lawless without remorse.
They are corrupt without accountability.
They have made the Constitution a document for them
to pi$$ on and ignore at their whim, hourly.
They lie ... and there is NO accountability, just
a press that snuggles and lies.
Unintended consequences? As a result of my Congress?
I doubt the rank and file union members even know how screwed they’ll be. The union bosses love it, though, since their main job is to collect dues and RAT votes. The wetbacks will oblige without asking questions, and the mega-corporations will get plenty of cheap labor.
Every day it seems we are one step closer to shooting. Our fore fathers would have already started it.
I wonder who they think is going to be around to pay any taxes in the future.
When the law no longer protects you from the corrupt, but protects the corrupt from you - you know your nation is doomed.

This does indeed smack of 10-289
Every day it seems we are one step closer to shooting. Our fore fathers would have already started it.
Yep. But our fore fathers would slap us silly for allowing it to get this far. They’d take us to the wood shed.
Then they can pay their own damn benefits and fund this stupid government themselves while I sit on my ass in a comfortable chair and which it fall to the ground.
Post of the day. Truer words have never been said.
You are exactly right:
Directive 10-289 is ratified roughly halfway through Atlas Shrugged as an emergency measure. It locks the economy in place.
As they learned the hard way in the subsequent pages, economy, like an education, is motion, not a status, position or level. To lock it in place is to kill it.
Point One: All workers, wage earners, and employees of any kind whatsoever shall henceforth be attached to their jobs and shall not leave nor be dismissed nor change employment...
Point Two: All industrial, commercial, manufacturing, and business establishments of any nature whatsoever shall henceforth remain in operation, and the owners of such establishments shall not quit, nor leave, nor retire, nor close, sell or transfer their business...
Point Three: All patents and copyrights, pertaining to any devices, inventions, formulas, processes, and works of any nature whatsoever, shall be turned over to the nation as a patriotic emergency gift...
Point Four: No new devices, inventions, products, or goods of any nature whatsoever, not now on the market, shall be produced, invented, manufactured or sold after the date of this directive...
Point Five: Every establishment, concern, corporation or person engaged in production of any nature whatsoever shall henceforth produce the same amount of goods per year as is, they or he produced during the Basic Year, no more or no less...
Point Six: Every person of any age, sex, class or income, shall henceforth spend the same amount of money on the purchase of goods per year as he or she spent during the Basic Year, no more and no less...
Point Seven: All wages, prices, salaries, dividends, profits, interest rates and forms of income of any nature whatsoever, shall be frozen at their present figures, as of the date of this directive. (But taxes will be allowed to increase as needed for the public good)
Point Eight: All cases arising from and rules not specifically provided for in this directive, shall be settled and determined by the Unification Board, whose decisions shall be final.
So, what happens to all of the union workers that will be displaced?
