Guest Guest Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 There are plenty of things wrong with unions but the attempts to take away collective bargaining rights in Wisconsin and other states is a systematic attempt by the rich to take all power away from workers. Some workers support it because they don't like workers with public employee unions making more than workers in the private sector. When workers oppose other workers like that, they're slitting their own throats. The reason our parents and grandparents enjoyed such a high standard of living and advanced so far in just one generation is that they had strong unions that gave workers a fighting chance against management. If workers don't have that, they are powerless to oppose management, which speaks with a single voice. Today people are upset because they see their economic security at risk. But if we give more power to the corporations at the expense of the workers, the imbalance will only get worse and the middle class will continue to decline. There is no check on this because the root of it is corporate greed, and there is no limit on that. If the American people do not figure this out, soon, the hole we are in will get deeper and deeper because real purchasing power will decline without a strong, prosperous and vibrant middle class.

Guest Moron? Posted February 26, 2011 Report Share Posted February 26, 2011 The only question here is what is the drug of choice for this moron. Why is this person a moron? Even if you dont agree it was a well thought out opinion. You really make yourself look foolish and lose any credibility with comments like that.

Guest guest Posted March 5, 2011 Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 If someone has an opinion and you do not agree with it, give your opinion and that's it. Everyone that is presenting an opinion that you do not agree with is not on drugs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest downwithfedres Posted March 7, 2011 Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 There's another side to this story:The moral obligation of the states not to default on their bonds.Tens of millions depend on monthly interest.Many of these are of modest means.I'm not going to eat dog food in order for a public worker to luxuriate at the beach all summer.
