When I worked I was union, and I am really proud of that. Still today, I would never cross a picket line of any union, out of respect for the American worker. I buy only American, and local, or I go without.
Unionizing is a federally protected right - and whoever mentioned outsourcing probably was born with a silver spoon in his mouth and a trust fund waiting in the wings and doesn't know a thing about hard work.
I've worked in union and non-union places, and trust me, union is better. Everyone works by the same rules, less turnover, and the "buddy system" doesn't apply. I'm happy my place is union...AND I AM IN MANAGEMENT!
Let's not forget that it's the unions that created the 40 hour work week, pensions, health benefits on the job, and minimum wage. If you are working in America today, you are benefiting from workplace protections that the unions fought for and won. Bush, Cheney, and their cronies want to roll our rights back to the Stone Age.
Exactly what "rights" are you talking about? When people enter into employment they are entering into a mutually concentual contract to provide financial compensation for both people. If an employee doesn't agree with his terms of employment or thinks he can do better elsewhere he doesn't have to take the job or he can just quit.
man if democratic union members are stupid that must mean you're an imbucile. you must have voted for bush not once but twice. you're even dumber than bush is. fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on you. duh
There are only two types of people in this country, Union members and those that are jealous of/want to be union members. To insdel2004-- don't come crying when your uppity job is outsourced.
hey..dont be bashing all union members. As a member of a union its amazing to see guys making 30 bucks an hour so negative on life....believe me when I say...there are alot of conservative union members that are thankful for our jobs and do not take them for granted and actually do earn our money. Unfortunetly the unions make those 2 morons the face of unions. god bless america and those that defend our freedom!
Typical Philly. They want Unions. They got Unions. No wonder the city is a friggin joke in this country. The 2 sports stadiums that were recently built- were 100% built by Unions, and guess what- Engineers have to do a study because the ramps were swaying- this stadium is only 4 years old! They were way over budget. The stadiums in Baltimore were built by Private contractors for millions less. Unions can go straight to hell!
You all are so bitter. I was in management for a large American Co. for years and we were glad we were a union company. My employees were smarter, more motivated, and stayed around longer because of the good union pay and benefits. Also while I did receive a small tax break it has been off-set by the huge increases in college tuition. My kids will be paying for the Bush spend/tax cut deficit. Just remember these two guys love America, maybe you don't agree with them but don't insult them.
I fucking hate unionists! Why is that when corporations form giant cartels to fix prices for a certain commodity they are evil. But when unions form giant cartels to artificially raise prices for a certain commodity (labor) they are good? Also the two idiots bitching about bush increasing government spending and cutting taxes to jump start the economy must have slept though Economics 101. That is assuming that they even have more then an 8th grade education in the first place.
Union workers that hate a Replublican? Hello Captain Obvious! Unions are the reason the Northern half of the country's manufacturing is being shipped overseas. Go figure, no unions in the south and more economic growth.
holy shit these 2 guys dont know anything about where they live. The economy has gone up since bush is in office. Thes eliberal junkies could never elct anyone to bring down the debt to zero, no1 can. then they blame bush b/c when he came into office it was really high, now its higher. wow...get over it, every president has raised the debt except for 1 or 2. i hate unions, they kill the employers.
your ignorance is too overwelming for me to even comment on. this country is doomed. the u.s.s.r. had pravda, the u.s. has fox. i'm sure that went right over your head.
Hell gas is so cheap now, only cost me $40 to fill the tank instead of $53....think that should be enough to send junior to Stanford instead of state college next year. Damn I love this Bush guy!
Ernie and Big Bird? I don't get it. Are they stupid or something. Taxes going up? Of course taxes go up, when haven't they? Duh. Here's a thought...some taxes even help protect the security of this country. ROFLMAO, what a thought. These 2 birds haven't got a damn clue, they're just worried about their beer money. Losers.
And voting helps how? We got two choices when there should be 20. Helthy competition is never bad. Insted we have two parties that dominate our lives. They play good cop bad cop and we all get screwed in the end. A BIG change is in order.
To those the do not like unions... kindly give up all that the American worker has achieved through unions. Cry me a river when they ship your sorry job overseas. It sounds like someone here depends on Fox pundits to tell them the "truth" about life's issues. Even if you are a white collar capitalist idiot, you are still benefitting from the unions pay raises. So, give it a breat with the mindless drivel and rhetoric.
When have Union workers ever NOT whined? Union workers = biggest cry babies of the lot. What is the most sickening is knowing the enemy sees all the whimpy Americans blaming each other...and they are just loving it!
What you fail to understand is who is "they". "They" are the brave souls that CREATE the jobs for you spineless crybabies. If you can't do a FANTASTIC quality job and continually increase efficiency, then so be it. Trade Unions are a relic from the past
It's the unionized workers who are driving jobs overseas in the first place. Unions are simply giant cartels that artificially raise costs by fixing prices and extorting businesses for more of their net operating income. I'm proud to be a "white collar capitalist idiot". At least i'm not some middle age loser with a 7th grade education.
You socialist dinosours who are clinging on to your heavy manufacturing jobs by the skin of your teeth better get with the times. We don't need low skilled tradesmen any more. With new technology and increasing globalization we can outsource the grunt work to a middle income country or replace you with a machine for much less.
socialist idoits that need a union to work. how about these goofy ass liberals work for pay based on performance. these guys are probobly global warming nutjobs but are bitching about the price of gas.
I know its hard for many of you to understand being a middle class american - However, many of us aren't aware of what it is like to have a silver spoon in our mouth @ birth or end up as the poster child for trust fund baby... Working Class Americans are feeling the affect of this administration weather you wanna support bush or not - Your Great Grand Children will be paying for this mess.
Those two probably drive gas guzzling pickup trucks. I am pretty sure that both really could not intelligently discuss the real issues regarding the Bush regime.
hahha yeah pickups trucks probably for their job... and from just this video, i can already tell that they have a better grasp on reality than bush and his regime and are also more articulate than our president
Yeah and that $300 check was only for parents with kids in the household. Us single/divorced people who don't have have a partner for backup, didn't get squat. These guys make the point the election isn't only about the war...it's about nearly every thing Bush stands for. He has gutted this country economically and socially like a fish.
You could be politically immature and have low expectations of where the economy should be in 2006, the meaning of the dollar, insurance woes, etc. The list is endless. It's easy to not understand when you're uneducated on the past, present, and the future.
Bush is doing the same thing Gore or Kerry would have done. This country is a train wreck....It always been this way... the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. Just live with it cuz its not changing anytime soon now matter whose the president.
What about the Iraqi, Afghani, and American lives that have been saved. What about the worst genocide since WWII? What about there not being a single terrorist attack in America since 9/11. How ignorant of me...lets be diplomatic and talk things out, Im sure theyll listen. Nevermind the bomb strapped to their chest.
Wow, how believable. The debt has been cut in half thanks to the tax cuts for all, spurring the economy. Get better actors next time instead of these two guys. Guh-ay.
The national debt has not been cut in half...it's still at the record high created by the Bush administration, and growing. The rate at which it is growing has been reduced, but that's not saying much, because it's been reduced from the record high rate of growth that was also created by Bushco. We're basically printing extra money to pay for the war in Iraq, those tax cuts you seem to hold dear, Bush's ridiculous Medicare changes, and the other mistakes of this administration.
Obviously, you do not understand economics 101 or how much the whole Bush team has lied to you. Their original estimates for the economic debt was over inflated in the first place. Any non-partisan economic reporting entity can confirm that fact. Pres. Bush used his over inflated estimates (not real numbers) to illustrate the point that the tax cuts were working. Talk about smoke and mirrors, and you bought into it hook, line, and sinker.
Spurring the economy? Are you freakin serious? Dont let the 2.30 gas, or the more recent positive rate of return for the stock market....it's all tied to the election and 2.30 isn't all that cheap, we'll be back to republican norm of "go fuck yourself" by Dec.
That makes no sense. Tell me how the debt was cut in half by cutting the amount of money (taxes) coming in? You're falling for the reich wing propaganda.
Bush is on the same team as cliton, the Rich understood long ago that controlling both sides, give them a win. The leadership of the Dems and the reps work for the AAE not the people of the USA. We are being played.
Let's just wait and see how the right wing coolaid drinkers are going to try to smear these guys as un-American, "libers" or whatever the pajoritive term of the moment is to belittle those who don't march lock step with nor neal in unquesioned servitude to Prince Bush.
I'm in the middle class and my life has improved greatly since he took office. The economy is stronger than ever even with 9/11, the wars, Katrina and oil costs. I find it hilarious liberals claimed that Bush's tax cuts wouldn't spur economic growth... yet our economy is at an all time high.
