Pro-Union Protesters Confront Tea Partiers! ATL, GA

Unions, socialists, and communists held a protest in front of the Georgia State Capitol building and Tea Party activists held a counter-protest nearby. As the union members walked past the Tea Partiers they communicated their feelings. Is this the face of the Union Movement in America?

American "Communists" don't know what real communism is. They're a bunch of anti- American idiots who want some attention. I've lived in Romania and I know first-hand what commies do to a country. They murder it and anyone that stands in their way.

Non Unions are 80% illegal's... Union members are all AMERICAN CITIZENS... TEA PARTIERS ARE ANTI AMERICAN CORPORATE SCUM sent to rallies by their corporate masters and lobbyists... our color is RED,WHITE,and BLUE. Yours is GREEN

@84Adrenalinejunkie Nicely said, and trying to convince anyone with a tea party mentality that both Democrats and Republicans coexist peacefully within those unions is impossible!

@FIERO871 quite a few i met that spoke out against unions are folks that were rejected by them, and it turned out they were died in the wool ex G.W. supporters!

The people that dislike unions are people that don't have the opportunity to belong to one or management types such as the Waltons. Four of the ten richest people in this country are named Walton. A saying in the South is "I make $5 an hour and I don't need no damn union!

Unions have provided millions of American workers with jobs with pay and benefits that are required to live "The American Dream". Now there are few unions and few jobs. Go figure?

@mathforphysics I believe a Constitutional Republic to be the best Government to secure the Rights of the People and ensure the safety and happiness of the Citizenry. At least we agree, as it seems, that a Representative Government is in our best interest.

"Remember, democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet that did not commit suicide." John Adams

If we lived in a true democracy a powerful government would mean that the people have real power. Without a strong government people have little representation at all.

[isaias1776]

@mathforphysics You're absolutely correct in your analysis. But, I'm of the mind set that more Government is not the solution, especially in our modern age of complex and mixed Governmental systems and ideologies. I don't believe in "no regulations whatsoever". That would be close to anarchy or a strict libertarian society, which I don't advocate. I believe in the "regulations" set forth in a Constitution under a Republican form of Government, wherein individual Liberty and private Rights rule.

@isaias1776

You probably don't believe in no regulations whatsoever. The government should be there to represent the people and protect them. So, if some business makes a lot of money by destroying the country we should be able to stop them. But the government, as it is now, is powerless. It has been bought by international businesses that don't care about the average citizen. The people regulating industry are the people in those industries. It's absurd. It's just fascism.

@mathforphysics Capitalism has lead to corporatism because of Progressivism. Our federal Constitution is pretty restrictive and limited. It is the unconstitutional expansion of Powers within the federal Government, which has, I believe, corrupted our free markets and led the way to Corporatism. Capitalism can't work with a very liberal or progressive Government in place. Only a strict Constitutional Republic can best secure the equal and private rights of every man, without prejudice or bias.

@isaias1776

I agree that what some call "corporatism" is a problem, but capitalism must lead to corporatism.

@isaias1776

How could they be on equal footing? Capital is, by definition, money invested for profit. The capitalist, by definition, invests money to generate money. The labor force work for money, but they can't get the full value of their product because the capitalist must take some for profit. It is coercion of one person by another and this is only possible because one controls the means of production. That is the fundamental injustice.
