It's really strange that repubs spent a week crying about the slippery slope of restricting soda size but they cant see two steps ahead to see the slippery slope in demanding unions earn less money and get less benes.
Unions used to be more flexible, ClosedCaption, and were not allowed in the government sector at all. I know, because I worked briefly for the US Post Office on Christmas holidays for the US Post Office in my college years. I had to sign a paper that said I would not ever become a member of the Union, and take a test to show I was not color blind. hahaha! People sue the government for stuff like that nowadays.
Since those days, I've seen unions close companies down and run them out of business by making them noncompetive and demanding the company give up paying dividends on the stock market. As a consequence, no Swift premium meats anymore, and Swift's Butterball got sold off, too. the owners just put their money after selling out into other more money-making businesses that could still earn money on the stock market.
Why do you think President Obama is moving in on banks for takeover, manufacturers, and regulating the small mom and pop business owners out of business, since they cannot afford the lawyers? Why is he turning over our military defense system information over to the Union of Soviet Socialists' Republic (Russia)?
Because his minister said, God damn America, and Obama is damning us.
That's why he's getting the boot just as soon as November rolls around, and that's why there is no slippery slope of asking unions to get in line with the world economy.
We're done closing down national manufacturing jobs so the Unions guys can support 6 ex-wives and their children.
The Unions want glam wages so they can act like Hollywood people who change spouses like they change styles.
We can't do that forever. We've got children running wild with no parents to watch them because they're all trying to be the latest mega-ego star who threatens to ruin a doctor if he doesn't give them prescriptions that will kill them if they keep on taking too many of them.
We can fight these things one by one. It seems overwhelming at times, but the Democrats won't do it, because they've always try to get people to support them who have a ton of money and fame which has destroyed their human side, since the goal posts on their behavior were altered to suit their tantrums.
We reject the Democrat platform of constant character assassination and negativism leveled at Republicans.
Freedom that Republicans cherish and uphold is not the same as enslavement to vices that Democrats employ on a daily basis to sate their need for power, nepotism, chaotic values, and spending money.
