Actions will always speak louder than words! The November ‘12 Presidential elections are a long ways from today, and I’m not even certain that the leftist majority will definitely have elections in ‘10 and/or beyond. It’s also important to keep in mind that too many of our present voters are either: “politically ignorant”, “politically stupid”, “government dependence voters”, have short term attention spans, whenever it involves general politics, and/or have short term memories, whenever it comes to anything involving general politics. Add illegal immigrants and most criminals to the total leftist voter rolls and it will seriously be nearly impossible for all non-leftists to even successfully form a majority of voters throughout the entire U.S. and for the long-term, no matter how bad the entire U.S. gets as a functioning country! The worsening of all political correctness and the worsening of the “dumbing down” of the general public also successfully continues worldwide.
If every company would require all employees to take a basic course on government and economics (could be given through the company) to re-educate their employees, and help them make the connection between government policies and workers having jobs, maybe we could open some eyes. People who have gone through gov’mt schools the last 20 years or so just don’t have a clue how things work. This is about the only place where dumbed down voters have a chance of being enlightened.
It would definitely be worth the investment to the companies to do this, I think. Maybe offer some incentive for people to take the classes. You could require all employees to go through “The 5000 Year Leap” & some basic course on economics/business, for example. Just so they could understand simple things like, if taxes are raised, it affects our company’s bottom line, if we can’t make a profit we are forced to either lay off some people - it might be you - or we will possibly go under and you’ll be out of a job either way. Hopefully the labor unions at GM and Chrysler are getting a clue about this right now.
If employers did this across the country I think it might potentially make a significant difference.
