Oh dear, and here I thought it was more of a conservative thing to have the little woman stay home and mind the kids, home school, cook, clean, prop up hubby's 6-figure income, etc., the whole Cleaver Family image. No?
Again, a liberal talking out of her azz and still feels smart. Must be nice.
And dubbing TM a "latte liberal" was smart? Wow. (Make a stupid comment, expect one right back if I'm in the room.)
I just noticed your "latte" avatar! Too funny!!!!!!!!! Does that mean you're a "latte con"???

No it makes you slow.
She bragged about her husbands earnings. Get it now?
The right seems to be failing to sucessfully defend their failed ideas in this thread.
How is it good for America for Americans to not get vacation time?
21 June 1877
Ten coal-mining activists ("Molly Maguires") were hanged in Pennsylvania.
3 July 1835
Children employed in the silk mills in Paterson, NJ went on strike for the 11 hour day/6 day week.
July 1851
Two railroad strikers were shot dead and others injured by the state militia in Portgage, New York.
23 November 1887
The Thibodaux Massacre. The Louisiana Militia, aided by bands of "prominent citizens," shot at least 35 unarmed black sugar workers striking to gain a dollar-per-day wage, and lynched two strike leaders.
Why don't we ask for more instaed of less?
In WI ppl complained about teachers getting more vacation time. They didn't complain about thier jobs NOT giving enough vacation. Their envy caused them to see it as unfair.
The Average American gets approx 9 days of vacation. The screams from the right are what? Let's knock that down to 5?

All of these events were in a different era. They needed to be addressed and workers joined together in union to try to effect change. Over the 100 or so subsequent years laws have been enacted and agencies formed to deal with employer/employee issues. We do have federal and state child labor laws today, minimum wage requirements, equally employment opportunity, disability rights, OSHA and many other rights that benefit workers - and they are all protected and enforced under federal and state laws and guidelines.
With all these protections in place today, why do we need to pay unions to get these rights in place for us? There was a time when unions were a good thing, but they are now past their time - the only thing they serve to do now is to bully and bilk employers AND workers out of every dime they can get for the greatest benefit to those on the top rung of the ladder ... sort of like all those greedy, selfish, self-absorbed big corporation CEOs. It's the same thing. Those on top benefit the most.
Do you just say Gubmit no matter the topic?
I didn't mention the govt at all
Who gives vaction to teachers? Who run the department of education?
Not the the federal government, for sure. Try each state, and then break it down into each district run by independent school boards. The teacher's union which negotiates such benefits as vacations isn't an agency of the federal government either.

Why are you ignoring the long history of our country?
There would be no vacation time for you if it were not for Americans unionizing.

Take away the right to unionize in this country and you will see worker rights whittled away at by the corps until they do just what they used to do, kill people.
History has PROVEN what employers would stoop to concerning workers.
You people pretend the history means nothing.
gasp!!! own homes, raise kids, own cars, go on vacations, invest, and even have some left over.....all at non-union jobs.
