I don't get it...................The Republicans(Rick Perry and other GOP clowns) keep saying the Unions are Greedy (SB 5 in Ohio) but yet they think nothing is wrong with Wall St. Barrons!!!!!! Theres nothing greedy about giving the Rich tax breaks to send jobs overseas. They think there is nothing wrong with Giving Corportaions a tax break to supposedly "Create JOBS" They think there is nothing wrong with giving them even more tax breaks but the Working Class and Unions the continuly say are greedy!!!!!!! What gives!!???!!
The Republicans are the establishment. The Democrats are the establishment. They say that they disagree, but it's all for the benefit of the people thinking there is a real choice at the ballot box. The Republicans are not pro-capitalism any more than the Democrats are pro-populism. They are both for bigger, more powerful government at the expense of the people. Screw the people, tax the people, export the people's jobs, throw the people in jail for smoking marijuana, tell the people you are protecting them, tell the people that you will take down big, bad Wall Street and big, bad terrorists. Let the bad guys go free, bail out the criminals, make money on the casino stock market, and invade the supposed dictators we've been propping up for various purposes over the years even though it's none of our business.
Ever notice that both of the parties lie all of the time, and that they twist everything to get people to cheer for the red team or the blue team?
Have you ever worked for a union?
The rich own the politicians and the media and "own" is not a figure of speech. The rich have both bought and paid for our politicians and the media. So the only thing that will come from either of those entities is going to be anti-working class/ anti-American
When you own the media you control thought.
What are repubs thinking? Give more money to the people that create jobs? Are they crazy?
Ya if they actually created jobs we wouldn't have been in a recession!!
Unions drive the costs of labor above the rate of market value. Then unions become self serving single issue advocacy groups working Washington for protctionist legislation to maintain their costs to business that are otherwise neither sustainable or justifiable. Thats why they are seen are greedy and self serving.

Ya ok and the CEO that makes 18 million dollars a year has nothing to do with that. RIGHT.
dont forget they make statements like social security medicare and unemployment are entitlements -
Right wing talk show host Bill Cunningham also thinks issue 2 should be given a no vote. Amazing. He agrees with us and he's crazy..lol
Yeah its the GOP LOL Jeff Immelt and GE got $126 MILLION stimulus dollars despite making over $6 BILLION profit and paying ZERO TAXES at the same time. BaROKE Obumbler's $852 STIMULUS bill to create JOBS and start SHOVEL READY PROJECTS turns out to be a SLUSH FUND FOR CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTORS LIKE SOLYNDRA, GE, JEFF DOERR and STEVE WESTLY, other DONORS, fictitious zip codes,etc.. Obumbler blew $852 BILLION, NOW HE WANTS $450 BILLION MORE---SHOW US THE MONEY, WHAT DID YOU DO WITH THE $852 BILLION?? Criminals always return to scene of the crime, Obumbler's BACK TO STEAL MORE MONEY FROM TAXPAYERS! Millions went to foreign banks, $529 MILLION went to Finland to build hybrid cars, MILLIONS went to Hezbollah, MILLIONS TO CRONIES. The same type of CRONIES are on his JOBS BOARD! All we'll get from them is more LIES, DECEIT, FRAUD!
It's the GOP. I believe it was GW Bush that passed the first Stimulas. HMMMMMMMMM.....................guess you forgot that one.
Dumb ass. Republicans were in control from 2000-2006 before the Democrats took over congress in 2007. In 2006, the final year under President Bush and a Republican Congress, the unemployment rate was 4.6%. Today, under Obama and a Democrat congress, the unemployment rate is 8.9% (according to the Federal Government - but 16% according to Gallup). Under Obama & the Democrats, poverty has reached its highest level since 1959. The numbers don't lie. The failed economic policies of Democrats have been destroying lives, wrecking our economy & shattering the American dream since the Democrats took over congress in 2007. The before & after statistics prove it.
A brief history lesson: 1977: Jimmy Carter (D) signs the Community Reinvestment Act, guaranteeing homes loans to low-income families. 1999: Bill Clinton (D) puts the CRA on steroids by pushing Fannie Mae & Freddie Mac (F&F) to increase the number of sub-prime loans (owning a home is now a 'right'.). 1999 (September): New York Times publishes an article, 'Fannie Mae Eases Credit To Aid Mortgage Lending', which warned of the coming crisis due to lax lending policies of the Clinton (D) administration. 2003: White House calls Fannie and Freddie a "systemic risk". The Bush (R) administration pushes Congress to enact new regulations. 2003: Barney Frank (D) says F&F are "not in a crisis" and bashes Republicans for crying wolf and calls F&F "Financially Sound" Democrats block Republican sponsored regulation legislation. 2005: Fed Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan voices warning over F&F accounting "We are placing the total financial system of the future at a substantial risk" 2005: Sen Charles Schumer (D) says "I think F & F over the years have done an incredibly good job and are an intrinsic part of making America the best-housed people in the world.". 2006: John McCain (R) again calls for reform of the regulatory structure that governs F&F. 2006: Democrats again block reform legislation. 2008: Housing market collapses: Democrats blame the Republicans.
Obviously the Republicans aren't free of guilt concerning the cause of this crisis because they didn't try hard enough to prevent it and in some cases allowed it to happen (one of the reasons conservatives and independents disliked Bush by the way and one of the reasons that many of those votes went to Obama as a 'protest' against Bush's liberal tendencies). But as can plainly be seen the Democrats hold the lion's share of blame for the economic melt down we're currently enjoying.
How can it be the 'fault' of the Republicans when the democrats are the ones that caused the current recession/depression and have been in complete control of the purse strings of the country from 2007 - 2011? Only in the mind of the socialist propaganda machine can it be 'Bush's fault' when 90% of the blame rests squarely on the shoulders of the democrat party.
Seems like it's CLEARLY the democrats that are the ones doing this to us...and to a WAY lesser degree, the Republicans. Maybe Obozo misspoke and he actually meant the democrats want to make the U.S. a third world nation
Hey Dumb ass you can screw with facts all you want dumb ass. So before you call me a dumb ass dumb ass you better quit screwing around. DUMBASS!! STUIP MOROJN ASSHOLE

Well the Wisconsin Union bosses it turns out controlled the insurance company that provided benefits to the rank and file members. Now that that conflicted deal was exposed and new insurance provided that was reasonable, the school budgets have a surplus and teachers are now able to be hired and paid properly. The Union members have to understand that the Union bosses are not clean by any means and are lining their pockets.
What are you saying that corporations and goverment aren't in bed with someone. You act like Unions are the only ones. Are you kidding maybe you should no be one sided but instead let everyone just how the Politicians and Coorportaions are in bed togetehr and with Insurance Companies.
Oh It is both, but often folks hold out union leadership as fighting for the rights of the down trodden worker, when in fact it's the opposite. The union bosses in wisconsin fought like heck to stop what the governor was doing to bring down costs. The union bosses sacrificed dollars to enhance the education system for years to line their pockets with high insurance premiums for the benefits they negotiated for. That is so wrong
I guess it's a matter of personal perspective.
The Unions aren't working people. The people who work for unions are working people. The Unions don't give a shit about you, they are using you so that they can all become part of the 1% you hate so much. WAKE up!
