Well,I have been wondering why Michael Brown was shot and killed in Ferguson,Missouri,and now I know!
It's "the disappearance of good union jobs".
LOL!

He's right though... "like so many once-stable and prosperous towns that have been ravaged by decades of economic decline caused by free-trade, globalization and winner-take-all economic policies that led to the disappearance of good union jobs."
It lead to the dissappearance of lots of jobs not just "good union jobs".
We should never have lowered the import tariffs in the 1960's. Wages have stagnated since then. Imports have soared. Industries have been lost. Unemployment has soared. Food stamps rolls have soared. We're dependent on foreign countries for way too much stuff, including military parts.
We need to restore the import tariffs, and bring back American jobs. And if it helps the unions in the process, so be it.

But behind the public political talk, state and local commies agree with federal commies while funding campaigns and during general elections.

The people of Ferguson need to thank Wilson for taking some of the garbage off the street.

WTF- Michael Brown was not joining the union he was beating the hell out of a cop. First rule of fight club is don’t “F” with a cop who has a gun. Second rule of fight don’t bring a fist to a gun fight.

Shouldn’t that read: The ‘largest head’ (big head, moron, pot head, idiot, poser, corrupt official, Democrat) who’s affiliated with a union.....?
To: mdittmar
Communists, public employees unions, racialists, politicians; its easy to recognize which groups benefit most from racial strife - they’re the ones rending their garments and wailing the loudest.

yes just read a couple threads up, guess they all got the memo to speak up.
To: mdittmar
I belong to a federal credit union and have been since the early 90’s. I'm a conservative and not a typical member (I dress well and better groomed). When I have to take care of banking, I feel I'm at a soup kitchen or a welfare office when I'm in line. It's frightening to say the least. Looks like a RAT voter registration drive.........yo!

It sounds like their DNC massas have issued marching orders to their turdboys in their unions. LOL! Commies are so full of it.

So, what are the odds the cop is not a union member?
If he’s not, then we know a little more than we did before this idiot spoke up.
