What have those incentives provided? Offshored jobs. Job reductions. Mergers (with elimination of "redundant" positions) Wage cuts of the line workers to cover the costs of the merger. Meanwhile, the top folks in the corner offices make 400 times what the average line worker makes.



We've given corporations damn near every break in the books...even going so far as turning a blind ey to them and letting them claim a post office box in Bermuda as their "headquarters", thus paying NO taxes...and they seem to be signing paychecks made out to Jose, Raji, and Xianag.

They've tried. But the republicans have done a fantastic job of making the blue collar line worker feel like an imminent terrorist attack or someone possibly taking their guns away is far more important that decent wages and jobs.

Again...the pervading republican mindset...unions are "socialist" after all....If a company makes a million dollars in profits, unions would like to see those profits distributed evenly across the board to the people who made it possible. How utterly socialist. And as we've heard from Sarah and John...socialism is a bad thing. It is far better for the top 4 people to each get $250,000 each and tell the lower level folks that "times are hard and you're lucky to have a job". A job action by a union whose employees have taken pay and benefit cuts against a company whose CEO is making an 8 figure salary will be viewed by many a good republican as an action of the "greedy unions"


True enough...but which is better...a guy fixing a plane making $35 an hour and paying higher taxes, or a guy fixing a plane in another country making $5 an hour while an American bags groceries for $5.50, but pays lower taxes? I honestly cannot understand how American union members could ever support any republican for president.
Thank you KCFlyer.

Many of us understand this, and are tired of it.

That is why we will have a positive change come next week. Whether it works out for us, time will tell.

Couldn't find 'Onward Christian Soldiers' for your cause.

Bury the firearms next week too? :huh:
 
Truthfully there 777...this wasn't a GOP issue at all....it came about during the Hillary/Obama race. :lol:

Go research that Pal. 😱

Did I say it was a GOP issue?

Like I said before dell if you had done some basic research you would have found that Mr. Berg is a wacko trying to use the courts as a soap box. Maybe the name of his website should have clued you in.

it was a sub....
 
I'm sorry Tech.....I forgot how the government is going to solve it all....You're right....
I did not say that.

I only hope that corporate responsibility is restored under a Democratic president, without the usual lack of personal responsibility that normally comes with increased social programs.

Obama/Biden must not let this opportunity slip away. If they cow tow to Pelosi, and let congress run unchecked, there will be another Republican revolution in 2012, led by guys like Gingrich.

Obama will not cure all that ill's this country, that is guaranteed. I think he has the better plan for the future. I only hope he does not let congress screw it up. :unsure:

Ok Tech...we're somewhat on the same page....but I think Obama/Pelosi is going to end up a thermal overload....thats my basic issue here......based on his past background and views and Pelosi....... its bad......real bad for the country.
As for corporate responsibility.....O is already in their pockets somewhat...they all are.

I'm not so sure. I watched a Frontline episode which was pretty much biographical of both candidates. One thing they pointed out was that when Obama became president of the Harvard Law Review, there was concern, especially among the more conservative co-editors that he would be rather radical. The conservative co editor they interviewed said that he was very balanced in handling the issues facing him...he didn't readily give in to the more liberal side on staff. If anything, he sided against them more often. We don't know...but too many folks have already written the "he's in Pelosi's pocket" line - they may be in for quite the surprise.
 
Time will tell..........first he has to get elected.

The most liberal Senator and a very Liberal Legislative branch can be an economic disaster in the waiting.

And that will be worse than what Bush the Socialist has done already? If you think Bush isn't a corporate Socialist then you must get all of your news from Rash Limbagg or his ilk.

BTW, we are in an economic disaster, we are no longer waiting.
 
Dell-

For 6 of 8 years in office, Bush's party controlled all four branches of gov't - the executive, the legislative (of which Cheney believed he was part of), the judicial through the planting of RADICAL EXTREMIST judges, and the corporate. This 4th branch of gov't is always controlled by the Repubs and it is the most powerful of all of the branches b/c it calls the shots through lobbies and gifts and b/c it is the only branch that runs unchecked. Why can't we develop high speed rail or alternative energies as other countries (that we deem to be 'inferior) have done? B/c the corporations won't allow it and they are what controls our gov't. So what if the Dems have control of 2 of the 4 branches (exec and legislative)?! There is a helluva alot of undoing that needs to be done from Bush's years in office and it sure as hell doesn't seem to be the repubs that are coming up with any novel ideas. And you should be chomping at the bit to have the Dems in control of the Presidency and Congress b/c it will be a painful decade coming up. What was easy for Rove, Bush, and the Repub Congress to completely screw up will take alot of ugly clean up and it won't be rewarding work. The next administration is going to look just as bad in trying to clean up the crap of the past.
