Nevermind65 .... "the economy sucks under Bush and unemployment just skyrocketed " ... I spent my working life in manufacturing and sales . Still have contacts there. Food for thought ... Obama says he is going to give Unions an open ballot for elections ... no more secret ballots . This opens folks up to all sorts of pressure from the Union organizers and will make organizing plants/workplaces much easier . I have been told that some companies are already shedding people ( they are an expense that can be reduced ) while they can and also speeding up automation plans .
Maybe it`s my imagination , but isn`t unemployment much higher in states that are heavily unionized ?
Stock market going down ?? Part of it is because people are told capital gains and dividend taxes are going up . Guess what ... you sell now to save money ... I did .
Second , go back and check, but when the Democrats increased the minimum wage recently , the unemployment rate went up the next month .... Bush`s fault ??
Don`t get me wrong ... there is plenty of blame for both parties , but I believe it was Chris Dodd and Barney Fwank that were heavily involved in the fiasco at Fannie May and Freddie Mac ... and yes , Republicans were also involved , but not to the extent those two were ... and this was the final straw ,imo , that brought everything down .
Raise taxes on the evil rich ? Must be nice to be able to legally steal someone`s money and give it to someone else ... oh , I forget , they don`t really need all that money they worked for .
Read Ayn Rand`s book ... Atlas Shrugged .
