Hillary Clinton Declares War On The Right To Work
Investor's Business Daily ^ | 9/22/2016 | John Merline

Posted on 09/23/2016 4:31:30 AM PDT by IBD editorial writer

Democrats love to talk about rights. They say people have the "right to affordable health care," the "right to a debt free college education," the "right to choose," and so on.

But there's one right they apparently want to erase: The right to work.

Here's how Hillary Clinton put it in a videoconference this week at the Laborers' International Union of North America: "I will fight back against so-called right to work. Right to work is wrong for workers and wrong for America."

Come again? The right to work is wrong for America?

Clinton is referring to state right-to-work laws that give employees the right to work without being forced to join a union. In states without these laws, unions can force new and existing employees to join a union or pay union dues as a condition of employment at unionized companies.

Hellary proclaims her demonic rants against the right of people to work, the the right of unborn people to live, the right to speak out against lying, murdering treason (especially that of the Clintons).

Hellary is a (barely) walking crime against humanity.

Remove ‘Right to Work’ and the unions rule the roost. Costs of doing business go up, unions collect more dues, giving them more money to buy politicians to force more businesses to hire union members, causing costs doing business to rise. Vicious cycle continues. When businesses close, workers go on the dole and vote for the politicians that promise the most benefits. When everyone is supported by the government, the politicians shut down the unions as they are no longer needed.
Hitler cozied up to the unions to get the majority of votes needed to be chancellor and when in office, his first official act was to ban all unions. The union leaders that complained had their heads beaten in with bats and the rank and file didn’t say much as they were too busy with the fit of their new military uniforms...
Hillary’s template.

Trump is pro-right-to-work. Here is a way on Monday that Trump can easily make the impression that “Hillary is trying to crush the jobs of the middle class”, despite what is known in Wisconsin, Michigan, etc. Ties it back to her cronyism and corruption.

Aside from showing herself to be completely unhinged in that video, she does say that she “needs your help to get Donald Trump’s record out to everybody.” Yes, please!

Notice that she stares straight at the camera the whole time in this video? She must be aware of people talking about her mismatched eyes, and is trying to hide that by not moving them.

Unions may have had a place when industrialization was beginning and manufacturing was the employ of the members or manufacturing related transport. Today gummint employees are a huge percentage of members. That being the case it is a matter of them vs the taxpayer not them vs an eccentric billionaire. If today’s Unions were to stick to employee grievances of on the job issues (no need to cover pensions and healthcare, taxpayers do that) they would have productive purpose. Tenaciously defending the socialist/communist advances they have dearly striven to produce from their beginning to the detriment of our country pushes them from a productive resource to a very negative. Today they are merely a money laundering scheme and ready source of thugs for a corrosive influence in public affairs.

Self pimping your own blog/”newpaper” to get “hits” is not kosher.

Does this dingbat know how incredibly hard it is to get a job when some effin union is standing in your way? I’m 54, in the past 34 years, well actually in the 1980s and 90s, I tried to get jobs that had a union involved so many times I can’t even count. NONE of them ever hired me. And I’m talking about real low skilled stuff like doorman, porter at a hospital. But when I went to Fedex which does NOT have a union, I was hired 1-2-3 right off the bat, first time application. Great benefits, great pay, great promotions, they even pay for your education. I can’t say this enough: F- unions and any wacko that is against Right to work needs to be the furthest thing away from politics.

They hold the people hostage, not some rich CEO. For example the Transportation union in New York city went on strike around 10 years ago and basically shut down the whole city preventing millions of people from getting to work. All the subways, buses were shut down. Now why the hell does a business run by the city need a union for? It’s ridiculous, because what they are striking against are themselves, the people of the city who make absolutely none of the decisions when it comes to pay and benefits. I grew up in New York city, I call it the leftist sewerhole of the east coast. Every freakin’ government employee has a union, what the hell for? It’s ludicrous.

Scott Adams in his recent blog brought up how that statement, along with her tone, hurts her badly, sounds like the election is already over. When you’re whining “why aren’t I winning”, it is bad.
