No food stamps for any family of a striking worker

[boedicca]

You still haven't provided any real life examples of union workers who receive food stamps.

If the union is doing such a lousy job that the workers have to rely upon food stamps to make ends meet, then perhaps the solution is to end the paying of dues and use that money to buy food.

Why should I support someone who is voluntarily unemployed?

What an asshole.

They are not unemployed they are taking part in perfectly legal activities.

This is the government punishing poor people for taking part in legal activities.


If we start this then we should also refuse anyone who joins the tea party any government assitance.

If you are non partisan you would have to agree with that idea too.

how is it punishing them?

You are out of touch if you see it as punishment.

I was listening to a radio show yesterday, and one of the callers was just like the rest of you.

It is alright to pass laws limiting the rights of the people in the unlucky sperm club, but god forbid we pass any law in regards to the lucky sperm club. It is okay to tell a single mom what she can do with her life, but leave the CEO alone.

What're you.....some kind o' communist??!!!!

You got something against traditional-values.....like Divine Rights (for those rich-folks the 'Baggers are desperate to hang-with)???!!!!

If you are on foodstamps fbecause your income is so low you qualify then taking it away because you partake in perfectly legal activity is punishment for that perfectly legal activity.


You want the kids of these workers to go hungry because of their parents legal participation in a strike.

 

[Skull Pilot]

Yup. You better not strike and try to get a better deal, American worker. The GOP is making sure your family will have to struggle as much as possible if you dare.

If the unions care so much about their dues payers then they can feed the people who refuse to work.

Why should the 88% of workers who aren't in a union foot the grocery bill for the 12% who choose to go on strike?

Yeah.....DAMN those 12%ers (who actually have the balls to Question Authority.....and, expose the 88% for the gutless-weenies/lemmings they are)!!!!​

Union people are sheep. They want to not work and expect me to support them.
I have absolutely no obligation to support someone who refuses to work.

I get up every day and work to support myself I would never ask another man to support me and I would never support another man who refused to work.

That 12% didn't pay into the system?

If you willingly choose not to work when you are perfectly fit to work, it doesn't matter.

So it'd be all right with you if I decided to close my business and collect food stamps?

You'd have absolutely no problem with that right?

How would you feel about tea party members being refused any government assitance?


They rail against it for others so they should be punished for their railing by being denied any services.


This would be the government doing the same thing they are trying to do to union members.

Its punishing someone for a legal activity for poltical reasons.

If you decide not to work when you are perfectly able to and when you already are employed then you get what you get which is nothing.

It's your choice not to work so you deal with the consequences and don't ask me to pay your bills.

If the day comes tea party members go on strike I would feel fine about it.

How about you keep living in your make believe world and leave the real world to the adults.

 

[AllieBaba]

Oh boy, I knew you were a hypocrite girl but seriously?

Ho hum.

I know I am so frustrating. I mean wouldn't be just easier if I would just agree with you?

I don't see that happening anytime soon. But why should you not stand up for what you think is right? Thats what you say when you limit the bility for people to strike. And thats exactly what this bill will do.

People can stand up for what they think is right without unions. They have and they do. What this bill will do is limit the ability of unions to hold entire industries hostage. It will limit their ability to commit extortion.

Food stamps are fopr people who are either unable to do for themselves or for people that are doing the best they can for themselves, but it is still not enough.

Someone saying that they are not happy with their job so they are going to walk off the job is NOT an example of someone doing the best they can for themselves.

If they are not happy with their job...be it salary or whatever...they should do what non union people do. Keep the job while looking for one that is better....

Why is this such a hard concept to understand? People find new jobs all the time. Usually beucase they want to make more money...or more responsibility...or better work environment that meets THEIR personal needs...or better benefits.....

And if they are really good?

The empoloyer they left will be the one who loses.

 

[Truthmatters]

So now you are making excuses for the punishment of these workers for perfectly legal activities?

 

[Truthmatters]

Ho hum.

You have no idea about the histroy of unions do you?


What unions do is perfectly legal and the entire western world recognises the value of unions

Would you please explain to me why I should buy food for a union worker and their family who stops working by their own choice?

Don't waste your time, TM is about as ******* stupid as they come.. a typical societal parasite that demands everything for nothing.

And I suspect a cheesy Brit at that.. probably one of the ones responsible for the shithole that is now Great Britain.

 

[rightwinger]

Even if you quit your job, your family still qualifies for food stamps. We do not allow families to starve in this country

But that's not fair. We want everything to be fair. Right? If you have a job and provide for yourself and your family and decide to quit that job and take from me to buy your food then that is not fair. How can a liberal like you demand such unfairness?

 

[Jarhead]

Are you ok with it if a man decided he hated to get up in the morning and work so he quit and he then puts in for welfare and foodstamps even and is approved?

Not saying that this is not the system...it is...

But are you OK with it?
