Andrew Stern, SEIU President Says America Economic System Has Not Worked

"We evolved into a more market worshiping, privatizing, deregulating, trickle-down, union-busting, I've got mine so long sucker economy which was a perfectly acceptable theory. There was nothing wrong with that theory if that was how people thought we could maintain and expand wealth or we could retain the American dream. It had one, only one, significant problem. Actually it was a fatal flaw. It didn't work. It has not worked, it did not work, and now America is in peril because of that."

Yes you greedy sucker. You are one asshole to talk. You drive the price of labor so damned high the industries in the US cannot afford labor. So, as a direct result of your greedy labor tactics, American industry has gone to Mexico, China, Viet Nam, India, and the frigging list goes on. Moreover penis lip, you and your THUGS are a wraparound of Obama's Marxist Socialist bunch of losers and now you are blaming, WHOOOO???? Flip off you Penis breath Marxist with your UNION tongue in Obama's Butt.

The US economy has produced more wealth than any other country in history. Andy Stern is a communist and would prefer that the US transform into a communist country. The best way to do that is colapse the current system. Who will be rich from this. For one, he will become very wealthy. The rest of us will be begging for the little scraps from his table. He wants equality, but all this will do is make everyone equally poor.

I don’t know if he’s greedy or if he’s a thug. But what hes’ saying is true. The price of labor has not risen because of Unions; it has risen because of inflation, monopoly and market saturation. The greed that you speak of is more often seen in CEOs that Union Bust and argue that they have to outsource or else they can’t afford their third private jet. It’s easy to blame workers for their own poverty when in most states they don’t even have the right to defend their demands collectively.

The American System of Economics was devised by Alexander Hamilton as the impasse and antithesis of the British System of looting, deregulation, monopoly, slavery, warfare, poverty, and "Free Trade."
