Republican lies, paranoia, fear mongering and hysteria about unions through Tex Shelters
Unions are the Unpatriot, Jihadists, Liberal, Terrorist, Atheist, Neighbor Who Wants to Kill you

Tex Shelters here, and I assert that unions are dangerous. They have done so much harm to real America that they alone are the reason that we are in dire debt to China.



Read my complete post here:

http://texshelters.wordpress.com/2011/08/20/unions-are-the-unpatriot-jihadists-liberal-terrorist-atheist-neighbor-who-wants-to-kill-you/



<snip>

Union workers get higher pay which leads to inflation and working families pay more for goods and services. Forget the fact that these same families have members in unions that make higher pay and can thus avoid the slight increase in the cost of consumer goods. Forget the fact that when union workers get paid more, all workers get paid more. (http://www.americanprogressaction.org/issues/2009/02/efca_factsheets.html ) No, we must focus on the inflationary effects of rising wages. And remember non-union workers: union workers are out to get you by making more money than you and getting benefits you don’t have. You must attack union workers and NOT attack the increasingly wealthy corporations and CEOs that keep cutting your pay and benefits and moving your jobs to another state or country. It is fellow workers that are out to get you, so you must get them first. Thank you.

<snip>

Working collectively like unions do leads to corruption. For example, it was unions that forced Wall Street to commit corporate crime and manipulate the markets leading to the recent economic collapse. http://www.nakedcapitalism.com/2011/03/a-straightforward-criminal-case-against-wall-street-ceos-and-senior-executives.html

The most criminal thing that unions have done to America is to keep young children out of the work force. http://www.continuetolearn.uiowa.edu/laborctr/child_labor/about/us_history.html Unions worked with feminists, another cause of the current economic crisis, to rid the land of child labor. What did this group of mothers and laborers have against children? Women pretended to care about stunted growth, lost childhoods, lack of education, injuries and exploitation of children in factories because they were lonely at home for 10-12 hours a day as their children explored workplace opportunities shoveling coal and sewing garments for wealthy children.

<snip>

Modern day unions have made our schools unsafe for god and guns. Teachers are the most dangerous type of worker left in the United States because they are the only large block of unions, outside of the police and firefighters. And we can’t attack the police and firefighters and get away with it. Thus, we attack the teachers because they get in the way of corporatization of the educational experience and work to prevent the dumbing down of the learning experience. If teachers weren’t in the way, we would have a population of worker drones willing to live off of slop and ready to let the Republicans and their patrons control everything from whom we vote for to where we shit.

As you can see, unions are dangerously getting in the way of our final solution for America. Won’t you join me in attacking unions and other workers and help us subjugate you?

1. Yep, we must make it attractive for Businesses and be Business
Friendly, (more like Businesses' slaves). Lower taxes
so Businesses can pocket their profits. After all it
is their money and that is what FREEDOM is all about
earning as much money as you can with no coercive taxes
from that Big Bad Government. We cannot punish Businesses
with taxes and regulations.

Since Unions raise the standard of living for everyone,
this socialistic organization must be done away with.
It gives working class people too many bad ideas. God
forbid, they talk about a living wage. Business must
have high profits for their shareholeders(Elites). How
can you maximize profits if they are forced to pay fair
and living wages. Unions posison peoples' minds with
the notion that they should have pensions and health
care. Gimme Gimme Gimme, Pensions and health care cut
into profits and this hurts business.

Just in case, I am being sarcastic.

Sometimes Sarcasm can make people think because there is
truth embedded there.

Yes, we are headed to Aristocracy with Business running
the show. Wake up America.

2. If a tper or repub read this
they'd be going "hell yeah". They don't do sarcasm or irony. They would approve of everything you have written here.


I just believe they are so myopic that everyday they cut off their noses to spite their faces.

3. Who needs a stinkin' Union, when you're angling for a Banana Republic?
What we need is some Austerity. Yeah, that's the ticket. We're gonna be competitive with the 3rd World now. I know, it's un-bipartisan for me to point out the Obvious. Sorry. :hurts:

"Until we get real wage levels down much closer to the Brazils and Koreas, we cannot pass along productivity gains to workers wages and still be competitive" --- (Stanley J. Mihelick, EVP Goodyear Inc. NYT, June 4, 1997)
