Right, and one global government is a great idea as well. Nothing to worry about there right?

Whatever hammerhead.

China has a different standard of living then we do their wages are going to be different. I'm not willing to redistribute what I have earned to raise their standard of living. That's THEIR job. Nor am I willing to pay for an air conditioner in every grass hut in Africa. Again, THEIR responsibility to improve. Until then there should be tariffs to equalize the trade disparity.

Is this video of Richard Trumka supposed to be scary? I'm not really afraid of international unions. If there was international independent unions across the globe that can collectively bargain, wages in places like China wouldnt be so low and that comparative advantage on wages would be erased.

I love reading about those who side with luxury and privilege, particularly when same people are not rich.

"WE ARE AMERICANS-NOT I REPEAT NOT FUCKING SOCIALISTS OR COMMUNIST."

Some Americans ARE Communists or Socialists though, as is their right to be! While you wish that the current GOP Fascists re-adopt McCarthyism, this will never happen. Not without massive resistance! So if any of you anti-Socialists want to bring on Civil War II, I am certain many people are game for that.

@j4unumber1 Yeah, well rapists and theives are Americans as well... doesn't mean they're right or acceptable.

Furthermore, I'm so happy there are rich peeps in America. That tells me that here, I may succeed as well. I'm glad we have, still, the freedom to succeed and fail. But when you have a group promising you guarantees of success, that's not freedom, just promises for their own power grab. If you give up liberty for security, you will end up with neither. And that makes you a sucker.

I am proud union also. However, I am proud to be in a unioni that represents me while I work in a private company operating in a free market republic. I don't want my union owning that company, nor do I want the state controlling anything. Since when does government do anything effectively? Then who would represent me against the union?

And what's with the class warfare nonsense? Don't you want to live in a country where you have the opportunity to become rich if you choose to?

[aegisone1]

This is the reason I am many other union memebers are leaving the union. We have nothing in common with some lazy ass french and european blue collars guys who work a lazy ass 30 hour work week. WE ARE AMERICANS-NOT I REPEAT NOT FUCKING SOCIALISTS OR COMMUNIST. Using "Workers of the world unite" for a americans to follow is pathetic. Trumpka your a stinking low life marxist sell out.

Be careful! There may be a time when you may regret saying such things.

[Texfield91]

@j4unumber1 We PROUD anti-Socialists dont need a war to defeat you in the left. We just let you run your mouths, and that does a better job than any of slowly eating away at your side. So by all means, put Trumka on every news channel available, run 24/7 footage of the occutards and have the unions go on indefinite strikes. It does more harm to you than any war ever could

HAHA, anti-Socialist............I wear that title with a Badge of Honor.

@Stickmodee No. This is the United States of Nazism!!!

[tlrpsu12]

@mojo4play hes not a sucker. ur a sucker for thinking your opinnion is better than his

[Stickmodee]

@mmatei0 And Glenn Beck holds what elected position? Votes on what policies? Is paid what by our taxdollars? You are no doubt an obama follower. Wake up, commrade! This is America. Not the USSR.

[Stickmodee]

Couldn't sleep. Flipped on C-span( If anything can put you to sleep!). Trumpka was speaking. He's like Stalin that discovered pizza. Wake up union members. This commie blowhard doesn't give a rat's ass about you. He wants money and power. Check out his home sometime. Definitely not getting paid hourly.
