You are no conservative. You are willing to give your power to communist unions ( read some history) and an unbridled government
We’ll use your vote but you are as illogical as any dem out there
I listened to an old ( leftwing) classmate recently look back and brag about how he was involved in promoting a teacher’s union in NY City several decades ago.
I thought: “really? And what the f*** was the ultimate benefit of that? except to flow even more taxpayer money and government debt into administrators pockets, turn teachers into political activists, and destroy education and choice for all kids in NY City, except for the financial oligarchs on Wall Street, who can afford to send their kids to private schools (and who support the marxist mayor anyway)
Definitely a screwed up situation, again caused by government and public-sector unions.
“When I explain that we cannot possibly afford UNIVERSAL healthcare in this country here and today they get a glazed over look, like they are unable to process what I’ve just said, kind of like they are characters in a video game that just say scripted phrases.”
I don’t know if you realize it or not, but you just gave one of the most accurate descriptions of what progressives look like when they encounter rational ideas.
I also believe everyone represented by a union should be able to be fired for being a part of a union if the union formed after the worker agreed to work without the union.
I also believe companies should be allowed to fired the union en masse when their contract is to be renewed, just as any employment contract allows individuals to not be required (think actors and contract workers of any sort).
Sounds good to me.
Excellent.
Congratulations.
Yes, everyone, be sure to get out ad vote, vote straight R, to help president Trump MAGA.
The unions in California, in a bid to force clinics to join unions which their employees have repeatedly rejected, have placed onto the ballot a proposition which limits the amount of ‘profit’ a clinic can make for a dialysis treatment. The STATED aim is to reduce it from 17% to 15% - the actual aim is to require all clinics to join the SEIU so that all employee and management costs can be called ‘expenses.’
The SEIU repeatedly has pushed $15 an hour minimum wage for ‘non-organized’ work - again, you want to pay less, force your employees to join the union.
So long as this, and public employee unions, continue to be the forefront of the union movement, I’m going to absolutely have to stand against unions in this country. They are nothing more than something that preys upon the employees and utterly self serving.
So unions for you, but not for them? I think public unions are especially pernicious, but the government shouldn’t have its thumb on the side of unions in any cases. Take away special legislation giving them special protection, and let them survive if they have sufficient merit on their own.
The government and corporations get their money from the same source, The American Consumer. The difference is “sustainability”.
When the government gouges it can print more money even while the average wage earner struggles to get by or files for bankruptcy. The government can prolong it’s financial demise for generations. A corporation, on the other hand, ultimately has to choose between prices, profits or dissolution.
Sustainability
Government can either cut spending or increase (taxes) revenues.
Corporations can either cut costs or increase (earnings) revenues.
Which one do you think will look for waste to cut from there budget before passing on the cost.
Only 7% of the private sector is unionized. So you are rare breed these days. Unions are not a big factor anymore it’s just they throw their ill begotten money(dues) around in politics.
Stick around, thanks for posting.
We need more young people here.
Imagine a time when a crisis increases demand for services and the caduceus becomes a weapon wielded against our freedom. Government Doctors compelled to murder citizens because a bureaucrat judged there are too many mouths to feed or those citizens "think the wrong thoughts."
Health care has not been a "Right" in thousands of years of human history. How could anyone in his right mind suddenly think of this Evil Socialist "Fake Right?"
Those who think a Union could protect them from a businessman need to consider who could protect them from the Union. A MAFIA "Protection Racket" is taken down with a national FBI investigation and RICO charges for organized crime and corruption, yet a Union Boss is a king in the private lives of rank and file craft people. The Mafia Boss and the Union Boss function in exactly the same way.
Oh, thanks for your GOP vote by the way ;^)
Regardless what the misguided Roberts Court wants everybody to think about the constitutionally of unconstitutional (imo) and now effectively repealed Obamacare, please consider this.
The Founding States didn’t put anything about healthcare into the Constitution.
H O W E V E R …
The founders did put the 10th Amendment into the Constitution.
"10th Amendment: The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."
In other words, and military issues aside, the 10th Amendment clarifies that the Constitution’s silence about things like healthcare means that government power to deal with things like healthcare belongs to the states, not the feds.
In fact, consider that the Roberts Court “overlooked” the following clarifications of unique state powers to tax and spend for healthcare purposes by previous generations of state sovereignty-respecting justices and a constitutional lawmaker.
"Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States."Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
"State inspection laws, health laws, and laws for regulating the internal commerce of a State, and those which respect turnpike roads, ferries, &c. are not within the power granted to Congress [emphasis added].” —Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
"Inspection laws, quarantine laws, health laws of every description [emphasis added], as well as laws for regulating the internal commerce of a state and those which respect turnpike roads, ferries, &c., are component parts of this mass.” —Justice Barbour, New York v. Miln., 1837.
”... the care of the property, the liberty, and the life of the citizen, under the solemn sanction of an oath imposed by your Federal Constitution, is in the States, and not in the Federal Government [emphases added].” —Rep. John Bingham, Congressional Globe, 1866. (See about middle of 3rd column.)
"Direct control of medical practice in the states is obviously [emphases added] beyond the power of Congress.” —Linder v. United States
"From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added]. …” —United States v. Butler, 1936.
In other words, what unconstitutional Obamacare did was to reveal that all three branches of the post-17th Amendment ratification, unconstitutionally big federal government are corrupt.
It boils down to the following imo concerning career Democrats and RINOs.
"The smart crooks long ago figured out that getting themselves elected to federal office to make unconstitutional tax laws to fill their pockets is a much easier way to make a living than robbing banks." —me
"Federal career lawmakers probably laugh all the way to the bank to deposit bribes for putting loopholes for the rich and corporations in tax appropriations laws, Congress actually not having the express constitutional authority to make most laws where domestic policy is concerned. Such laws are based on stolen state powers and uniquely associated stolen state revenues." —me
The remedy for unconstitutionally big federal government …
It is now time for patriots to finish the job that they started when they elected Trump president.
More specifically, patriots should now be exercising their voting muscle to fire corrupt career lawmakers, replacing them with patriot lawmakers who will not only put a stop to unconstitutional federal taxing and spending, but will also support Trump's vision for MAGA.
Yep.
Trump’s policies (immigration control and limitation of off-shoring) increase the American workers’ share of company profits.
Heck, that used to be the goal of socialists. God knows what socialists’ goals for the worker are now. Welfare I guess.
