Boortz hits a homer again!

[TheGeezer]

Amen.

[Republican Red]

I agree with this article but Boortz makes it well known that he is a libertarian and will vote for the libertarian candidate.

[MEG33]

FYI

[smith288]

The jobs belong to the employers .. not the voters!

[beaureguard]

Not this year - he is supporting and voting for President Bush.

[FITZ]

You think this article is helpful? You think someone who is unemployed and about to lose his home to foreclosure will become convinced by something like this to vote Republican?

[StatesEnemy]

The jobs belong to the employers .. not to you!

And the COUNTRY belongs to US, not the Hyper-Capitalists.

[FITZ]

Most of these big corporations are made up of all employees --- the CEO is an employee --- not the owner. If an employee has any stock in a company then he is part owner.

[FITZ]

It's no longer "government by the people or for the people", it's become "government by the corporations and for the corporations". There is also something in the Constitution about the government promoting the general welfare --- but that doesn't mean putting Americans on welfare, it's supposed to promote our well-being.

[gonewt]

Fair enough.

But that also doesn't stop people like me from refusing to do business with companies (like Bank of America) who ruthlessly fire American workers and replace them with overseas, third-world people, claiming the need to "cut costs" while still paying upper-level folks obscene, multi-million dollar compensation.

I am not for government action. I *am* for people staying informed and, where appropriate, boycotting companies that operate unethically.

I've been saying this for a long, long time, and I like the way Rush Limbaugh stated it some time back: A job is created when someone has some work they need to have done and offers someone else money to do it. The job belongs to the employer, not the employee, and that idea springs from our notion of personal freedom. The socialist believes, on the other hand, that once a person takes a job he becomes a ward of the employer in perpetuity, with rights and demands on the employer far in excess of the actual worth of his labor.

It didn't take me long to figure out that a disabled person has two choices. I could accept the crumbs govt. was willing to toss my way or i could find another way to earn my own living.

I ended up starting my own business from my garage. I learned small engine repair and took up cabinet making and began building wooden lawn furniture. I work out of my garage, I make my own hours.

Over the last two or three years I've even started hiring local teenagers to help me out after school. I can't pay them a great deal of money, but they get hands on experience to go with their career center training.

My wife and i will be just fine without govt. help.

[BillM]

If the US is a becoming a nation of whining losers, it deserves what it gets. At some point, it will partition into people who want to learn and work and those who don't. It will probably be Civil War 2.

[2banana]

People want employers to pay for health care, care for the environment, overtime, family leave, diversity, etc. but these same people will not buy a more expensive product which pays for these demands on employers

[Merdoug]

YEAH! That's right! To h*ll with America! Rack in those profits!

Most of these big corporations are made up of all employees --- the CEO is an employee --- not the owner. If an employee has any stock in a company then he is part owner.

How does a company expect to make any money if their main purpose seems to be give jobs according to voters?

[Taliesan]

Democrats hate the laws of economics. They are so unlike the womb.

Probably not to the person that you've described. But, to a protectionist-conservative who posts in the FR, that has yet to see the consequences of his/her backwardness thinking - I hope so!
