Republicans = Anti-labor
Pilots= labor
Republicans also = many other beliefs, but that one is the one that relates to our careers!
Please tell me where anyone tried to convince you Republicans are better for your career. I could make that argument as it relates to economy but that is another thread.
I could point out that democrats are going to cost me another 8K a year in taxes by 2010 (at least) but that is another thread.
I could point out that democrats will remove the cap on Social Security and that will cost me another 12.5% in taxes (on everything over 90K) on top of that 8K but that is another thread.
Check 6 said we are only labor (nothing more) so we should vote labor. I said if you are only labor you should vote labor. Whats wrong with that?
In response to the billionaire republican comment I could have pointed out Soros but I didn't. Republicans are the party of the middle class. The rich and the poor all vote democrat.
I have never made a political comment on this page that wasn't in response to some other usually bogus claim. A lie unchallenged becomes the truth, so I challenge them.
Again if all that is important to you is labor vote democrat. Uncle Teddy will take care of the rest.
